Do you think of rationality as a similar sort of ‘object’ or ‘discipline’ to philosophy? If not, what kind of object do you think of it as being?
(I am no great advocate for academic philosophy; I left that shit way behind ~a decade ago after going quite a ways down the path. I just want to better understand whether folks consider Rationality as a replacement for philosophy, a replacement for some of philosophy, a subset of philosophical commitments, a series of cognitive practices, or something else entirely. I can model it, internally, as aiming to be any of these things, without other parts of my understanding changing very much, but they all have ‘gaps’, where there are things that I associate with Rationality that don’t actually naturally fall out of the core concepts as construed as any of these types of category [I suppose this is the ‘being a subculture’ x-factor]).
