there has been significant work — though scattered — exploring how reason, particularly in its modern, abstracted, and institutionalized form, leads to violence, domination, and disconnection. However, much of this work still operates within the academic frame, often not going as deeply or as embodied as your inquiry aims to go.

Here are some key thinkers and themes that may resonate with or parallel your direction

  1. Ivan Illich Deschooling Society, Medical Nemesis, Tools for Conviviality
  2. Theodor Adorno & Max Horkheimer — Dialectic of Enlightenment
  3. Foucault — particularly on biopower, disciplinary reason, and rationality in institutions
  4. John Zerzan — critiques symbolic thought, including language and reason
  5. Vine Deloria Jr. — Indigenous critique of Western reason
  6. James Hillman — Archetypal Psychology
  7. Martin Heidegger - The Question Concerning Technology
  8.
