Richard_Kennaway comments on The Rationalists of the 1950s (and before) also called themselves “Rationalists”

[Richard_Kennaway]

I can only agree , since I’ve been saying for a long time that the current rationalist movement is only the latest iteration of many.

I’d agree with that, except for the word “only”. It is no criticism of the present, to observe that it has a history.

It’s a warning if the history consists of various groups having extreme confidence about solving all the problems in ways that subsequent groups don’t accept.
