What is rationalism?
Rationalism is a movement that exists to promote the role of reason in approaching and finding solutions to the wide range of issues and problems that confront us. Rationalism argues for a rational approach to human problem-solving, suggests reasoned alternatives to religious dogmas, defends freedom of thought and civil liberties and strives for the secularisation of politics, the education system and society in general. Its members endorse a scientific approach and work to counter superstition and promote an open and just society.
