I agree that “rationalism” has an ideological implication that “the study of rationality” (or “rationology”?) does not.
“Rationology” is much, much worse, because it’s an “-ology” and a new term that wasn’t historically used much. (I invite you to flee in horror from the stuff that google search on “rationology” turns up.)

This at least raises an interesting question: Why are people capable of feeling worthless to the point that it compromises their ability to function?
More generally, I regret it if “rationology” isn’t available for sensible use—I’d like to see a formal study of how people reason.
