In more technical terms it is a method or a theory "in which the criterion of the truth is not sensory but intellectual and deductive " (Bourke 263). Different degrees of emphasis on this method or theory lead to a range of rationalist standpoints, from the moderate position "that reason has precedence over other ways of acquiring knowledge" to the more extreme position that reason is "the unique path to knowledge" (Audi 771). Given a pre-modern understanding of reason, "rationalism" is identical to philosophy , the Socratic life of inquiry, or the zetetic interpretation of authority (open to the underlying or essential cause of things as they appear to our sense of certainty).

10. Rationalism Defined A definition of the term rationalism. Definition Rationalism Domain Philosophy Context World views, justification for our beliefs and values http://progressiveliving.org/rationalism_defined.htm

The Progressive Living Glossary Definition: Rationalism Domain: Philosophy Context: World views, justification for our beliefs and values 'Rationalism' is the view that reason aided by observation should serve preeminently as the ground of all of our convictions. Outside of the context of philosophy, rationalism is sometimes said to stand in opposition to romanticism, with its preference for emotion over reason, and also in opposition to the notion of 'revelation' as an adequate ground for (usually religious) beliefs. However, perhaps most of all, and most justly, rationalism stands in contrast to authoritarianism, the view that convictions should be grounded in respect for the views of the powerful, influential, or charismatic. Rationalists accord their respect instead to logic and evidence, and are suspicious not only of would-be authorities, but also of 'visions', drug- induced revelations, and any form of mysticism that asserts the existence of what cannot be observed, or at least reasoned to from observation. To characterize rationalism in this way, however, is perhaps to draw too strong a contrast between it and rather less rigorous views. For example, most rationalists would accord a place of respect both to emotion and intuition, though the proper role of these tends to be controversial.

13. What Is Rationalism A look at the philosophic concept of rationalism, as described by philosopher WEH Lecky in his classic work, The Rise and Influence of Rationalism in Europe, published in 1865. http://www.publicbookshelf.com/public_html/Outline_of_Great_Books_Volume_I/whati

What is Rationalism [RATIONALISTIC DEVELOPMENTS - LECKY - FROM 'THE RISE AND INFLUENCE OF RATIONALISM IN EUROPE'] The art which is the pursuit of beauty developed in Ancient Greece and in Renaissance Italy when it ceased in fact if not in form to have religion for its motive. The Gothic architecture which had been the most perfect expression of the sense of beauty permeated by the most profound religious sentiment was displaced by that of which St. Peter's is the supreme type, devoid altogether of religious sentiment; as were Michaelangelo's 'religious' frescoes and statues. The secularisation of art marked the new rationalising spirit which severed it altogether from fetishism and from anthropomorphism. For in the earliest stages, religion had treated beauty, sensuous beauty, as a dangerous snare of the Devil; and the more definitely beauty became the object pursued, the more definitely were the ways of art and of religion parted. The general movement of rationalism has been most profoundly influenced by the progress of physical science. The doctrine of the inspiration of the Bible might be applied to its allegorical interpretation, a process which was indeed carried to amazing lengths; but it was also applied to the complete repression of all scientific enquiry which could be contravened by any phrase in the Bible as the ultimate indisputable authority; so that to believe, for instance, in the existence of the antipodes, was tantamount to heresy. No scientific facts outside the range of the ancient Hebrew writers could be true; whatever they took for granted must be true; a postulate that was in itself a prohibition upon the progress of science, which in medieval times was possible only under Islam.

As he saw it, people will come to love their oppression, to adore the technologies that undo their capacities to think. What Orwell feared were those who would ban books. What Huxley feared was that there would be no reason to ban a book, for there would be no one who wanted to read one."

Rationalism Advanced Information Philosophical rationalism encompasses several strands of thought, all of which usually share the conviction that reality is actually rational in nature and that making the proper deductions is essential to achieving knowledge. Such deductive logic and the use of mathematical processes provide the chief methodological tools. Thus, rationalism has often been held in contrast to empiricism. Earlier forms of rationalism are found in Greek philosophy, most notably in Plato, who held that the proper use of reasoning and mathematics was preferable to the methodology of natural science. The latter is not only in error on many occasions, but empiricism can only observe facts in this changing world. By deductive reason, Plato believed that one could extract the innate knowledge which is present at birth, derived from the realm of forms. However, rationalism is more often associated with Enlightenment philosophers such as Descartes, Spinoza, and Leibniz. It is this form of continental rationalism that is the chief concern of this article. BELIEVE Religious Information Source web-site Our List of 1,000 Religious Subjects
