This is why rationalists so often get accused of reinventing the wheel
I’ve heard that criticism too, but it’s hard for me to come up with specific examples that I agree with. Do any of these count as reinvented wheels?
EDIT: On second thought, whether or not rationalists already do reinvent the wheel, I strongly claim that they should reinvent wheels at least sometimes. Seems like really good practice for inventing novel things.

Logical positivism/verificationism is the obvious example.
