Using the analytical tools of modern anthropology and psychology, Dodds asks, "Why should we attribute to the ancient Greeks an immunity from 'primitive' modes of thought which we do not find in any society open to our direct observation?"

Based on the author's 1949 lectures at Berkeley. It is the intellectual passion to seek understanding of the Other that leads to the questioning of "Greek culture is the victory of reason". The old and new beliefs that do not contradict each other signify that the age of perfect reason is still to come, and the Inherited Conglomerate (layered accumulation) of ancient Greek religion has been preserved. The author's mention of Freud's subconscious theory is very interesting. The whole book is clear and classical.

LOS GRIEGOS Y LO IRRACIONAL

Este es un clásico. Aunque en algunos momentos suena anticuado, escrito como en una época dominada por Freud, la tesis central se mantiene bien y es un importante correctivo de la visión predominante de los griegos como racional. Doods cuestiona la opinión de que la religión es racional, lo cual creo que es una contribución aún más importante y duradera. La Edad de la Razón más antigua es más compleja según Dodds y examina de manera bastante efectiva la tradición irracional contraria que atraviesa los mitos y la filosofía griegos.

La visión más típica de los griegos exagera la Ilustración jónica, mientras que Dodds quiere que veamos una visión más compleja que incluye sonidos pitagóricos, indicios de religión y misticismo indios, reencarnación asociada con los misterios cúlticos y el politeísmo desnaturalizado por el monoteísmo posterior. Dodds revisa más tarde el pensamiento europeo sobre Hegel, Nietzsche y otros al exponer la riqueza de la tradición artística griega como con la "racionalización" de Eurípides. Dodds, junto con Gilbert Murray, señala que el griego "irracional" no está muy alejado de la cultura india durante la Era Axial.

La tradición literaria griega se parece más al pensamiento indio de lo que muchos consideran. Podemos saber menos sobre la Ilustración racional, después de Kant, de lo que muchos pensadores se atreven a admitir.

El texto es claro con una plétora de largas y fascinantes luces laterales contenidas en las copiosas notas. Compuesto originalmente como una serie de conferencias, el texto es académico pero estimulante.

While Ancient Greeks are most known for the triumph of rationalism over superstition and magic, E.R. Dodds presents an alternate history which demonstrates that, despite the intellectual advancements in the direction of reason, the Greeks (particularly Plato) of the Golden Age fundamentally retained certain pre-5th century magical (read: irrational) thinking within their traditions. Dodds thinks this is a good thing, since we are not merely thinking but also *feeling* agents--a fact that Socrates and Aristotle understood well. Dodds argues that the progressive excision of "irrationality" in the Stoic and Epicurean traditions turns out to be a regression--a failure to appreciate the affective elements of living a human life. He sees this failure culminate in medieval Christianity's devaluation of earthly life.

This book is essential and utterly fascinating. Because it was first delivered as a series of lectures (each chapter is relatively short--approx 15-20 pages), it is eminently digestible and suitable for any audience. But boy, does he pack a lot of detail in: on average there are about 100 footnotes a chapter. This makes this a great bibliographical source in addition to being a spectacular read. ( )

Despite being first published in 1951 and considering all of the advances in anthropology, psychology and our knowledge of Greek civilisation, Dodds' book still holds its place as an important understanding of the Greek mind and civilisation. It was hugely controversial when it was published and still has that tag.

However, to my mind there are only three chapters worth reading: Agamemnon's Apology, Guilt Culture to Shame Culture and Reactions to Rationalism. There is only so much one can say about irrationalism in Greek culture and the other chapters feel as if they were filler. ( )
