Sure, naive rationalism is intellectually dead, but post-rationalism deserves a better endorsement, thus the downvotes. I suspect most people aren't yet familiar with the discourse. If I was more qualified I'd write it myself, but alas.


Yea, I consider myself a rationalist because I share a similar epistemological framework to the classical rationalism, I was very disappointed to find that a 'rationalist' movement exists and takes nothing but the name from rationalism.


What is this "naive rationalism" and "post-rationalism"? And how is rationalism dead in the first place? Did science and logic suddenly stop working without us noticing?
