Ορθολογισμός
Rationalism is an epistemological view that regards reason as the chief source and test of knowledge. In contrast to empiricism, rationalists hold that reality has an intrinsically logical structure. They assert that a class of truths exists that the intellect can grasp directly, independently of sensory experience.
