I know that Rationalism is fairly spread out as an ideology, but, thankfully, very few rationalists seem to subscribe to the popular belief that allowing someone you can’t see to suffer by your inaction is somehow different from walking on while some kid you don’t know bleeds out on the pavement.
That’s mostly the utilitarians, as I understand it. I know that not very many philosophers are utilitarians—less than 25% - but it would be interesting to know how many self-declared rationalists are.
