Abstract
SAMPSON, Anthony. On "Truth" and Other Chimeras. rev.estud.soc. [online]. 2011, n.40, pp.72-79. ISSN 0123-885X.
I explore the Greek origins of our Western mode of thinking and question some of the central notions that structure our mental habits. I examine the psychological impact of certain factors (historic, social, technological, and scientific). Finally, I offer a more modest vision of the scientific enterprise than that often professed.
Keywords : Classical Greece; Truth; Reason; Universals; Logical Conversation.
