Beyond Rationality 9781917991070 Paperback

What if a cat could not only think but also reflect on the mysteries of consciousness, memory, and dreams? In Beyond Rationality: An Imaginary Meeting between a Cat and a Psychoanalyst, a curious feline and her writer-human explore the blurred boundaries between the rational and the unconscious, weaving together insights from psychoanalysis, neuroscience, and poetry. Their dialogue takes the form of meditative reflections, surreal visions, and unexpected dreams. This is neither a manual nor a theory, but an invitation to rethink how we perceive ourselves and our place in nature. As scientific precision meets animal intuition, a new mode of understanding emerges, one that listens as much to silence as to speech. A tender and thought-provoking conversation for all readers intrigued by the mind’s hidden dimensions.
