Anti-Authoritarian High Modernism, anti-Scientism

Sarah Perry, 2015: Post-rationalists tend to value true beliefs, but have more sympathy for religion, ritual, and tradition (including monogamy) than the rationalist community. They are skeptical of the ability of science (as it is practiced) to solve humanity’s problems and provide a sense of meaning or happiness. I am sympathetic to both groups. I view post-rationality as a kind of hyper-rationality: a concern with truth, efficacy, meaning, and human experience that is willing to be skeptical of even the foundational beliefs of the rationalist worldview.

• I think this sympathy is a sign of the NeoTrad thrashing/failure of some of their members

eigenrobot: rationalism was in a sense about saving the world; postrationalism in a sense about understanding it
