18. Thought / A. Modes of Thought / 5. Rationality / b. Human rationality

2899	The fanatical rationality of Greek philosophy shows that they were in a state of emergency [Nietzsche]
	Full Idea: The fanaticism with which the whole of Greek thought throws itself at rationality betrays itself as a state of emergency: one was in peril, one had only one choice: either to perish or- be absurdly rational.
	From: Friedrich Nietzsche (Twilight of the Idols [1889], 1.10)
