	Rationalism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Since the Enlightenment, rationalism is usually associated with the introduction of mathematical methods into philosophy, as in Descartes, Leibniz, and Spinoza (Bourke, 263).
		This is commonly called continental rationalism, because it was predominant in the continental schools of Europe, whereas in Britain empiricism dominated.
		Rationalism is often contrasted with this view known as empiricism.

	Reason - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
		In the philosophy of arguments, reason is the ability of the human mind to form and operate on concepts in abstraction, in varied accordance with rationality and logic —terms with which reason shares heritage.
		The concept of reason is connected to the concept of language, as reflected in the meanings of the Greek word "logos", later to be translated by Latin "ratio" and then French "raison", from which the English word derived.
		As reason, rationality, and logic are all associated with the ability of the human mind to predict effects as based upon presumed causes, the word "reason" also denotes a ground or basis for a particular argument, and hence is used synonymously with the word "cause."

	Sigmund Freud (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		Thus for Freud, the ideals of the Enlightenment, positivism and rationalism, could be achieved through understanding, transforming, and mastering the unconscious, rather than through denying or repressing it.

	blah-feme: critique of technologism
		The need now, it seems to me, is to go beyond that vulgar rationalism and to understand the relationship between power and resistance as a relationship that is abso;lutely internal to the system itself: in other words, Marx's critique of capitalism has operated always from within, as a symptom of that system.
		The point here, without seeking to abandon the most useful elements of a critical Marxist model, would be to re-inscribe critical action into a broader configuration of the political such that it can operate beyond the epistemological straight-jacket of scientism.
		without attending to these matters, social theory from the left is stuck in a rationalizing idealism that in a very important sense belittles what might be termed (not unproblematically) the human.

	Fregean Sense
		Rather as, in perception, similarities between veridical and non-veridical cases have led people to postulate a genuinely common element, a sense datum, which is the immediate object of perception, so dissimilarities between thoughts of the same have led people to postulate genuinely distinct elements, senses, which are the immediate objects of thought.
		A striking feature of meaning rationalism, as embodied in these theses, is that it is a doctrine about a subject’s knowledge of semantic features of thought or language.
		In particular, arguing that identity is a relation between objects rather than between signs is tantamount to arguing that knowledge of identity, whether of the "a=a" form or the "a=b" form, is knowledge of objects as opposed to semantic knowledge.

	Rationalist movement - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		While rationalism is a key component of secular humanism, there is also a strong ethical component in humanism that rationalism does not extend into.
		Rationalism in this sense has little in common with the historical philosophy of continental rationalism expounded by René Descartes and Gottfried Wilhelm von Leibniz.
		British empiricism of the 17th and 18th Century and logical positivism of the early 20th Century, though starkly opposed to continental rationalism, are in certain respects compatible with rationalism in the present sense.

	Essence (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		For Santayana, the essence of a being is simply everything about it, independent of the question of existence.
		Existentialism is founded on Soren Kierkegaard's statement that "existence preceeds essence." Inasmuch as "essence" is a cornerstone of all metaphysical philosophy and the grounding of Rationalism, Kierkegaard's statement was a refutation of the philosophical system that had come before him (and, in particular, that of Hegel, his teacher).
		Instead of "is-ness" generating "actuality," he argued that existence and actuality come first, and the Essence is derived afterward.
