Rationalism vs Rationality

People keep including notable rationality pioneers in the list of rationalists. Though colloquially they are used interchangalblly it is wrong nonetheless. Ayn Rand, Periyar and Wang Chong are pioneers of rationality, but in epistemological sense they are not rationalists. Dipserprep (talk) 05:33, 28 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
