Разумът търси себе си в драматичната и нелинейна история на човечеството. В началото е логосът, който отрича мита. Във вековете възникват множество форми и перспективи на разума. Той е монологичен или диалогичен. Диалогът е фундаментален онтологичен акт на взаимно признаване между човешките същества. Полярната противоположност на диалогичния разум е радикалната негация и нищожност на Другия, смятан за не-човек и заслужаващ робство или смърт. Убиецът на разума е чудовището.
