#irrationalism
- Allogism — A philosophical attitude, movement, or artistic device that denies the role of logical thought and reason in knowledge, holding that absolute truth can only be approached through intuition, faith, or mystical experience. In literary avant-garde (such as Dadaism or Surrealism), it represents an intentional technique of breaking natural syntactic and logical connections to release the subconscious.
- Anti-rational — Opposed to reason, logic, or the principles of rational thought; contrary to logical common sense or methods of knowledge based on evidence and deductive reasoning. In a philosophical sense, the term characterizes doctrines or currents (such as irrationalism or radical mysticism) that consider reason limited or incapable of grasping absolute truth, emphasizing intuition, impulse, blind faith, or mystical experience.
- Anti-rationalism — A philosophical current or theoretical attitude that rejects rationalism, contesting the primacy of reason as the supreme instrument of knowledge and understanding of reality. This epistemological doctrine argues that pure intellect and logical deduction are limited, dogmatic, or incapable of penetrating the essence of existence, giving absolute priority to intuition, mystical experience, religious faith, or vital and instinctual impulses of the human being.
- Anti-rationalist — The feminine form of antiraționalist; a woman, academic work, or theoretical orientation demonstrating opposition to dogmatic rationalism and contesting the primacy of formal logic as the sole path to knowledge. In the context of philosophical analysis, it describes an epistemological perspective or intellectual stance emphasizing intuition, inner experience, faith, or instinct over cold mathematical models.
