There is a pervasive pattern of discussion about “rationalism” versus “post-rationalism” versus “meta-rationalism” and various other ways of trying to carve reasoning up into movements or communities or ideologies. This is all a mistake.

“Meta-rationality” is a term I coined for a particular type of reasoning. This type of reasoning would count as rational by the definition “likely to be effective.” It does not reject rationality. It is, however, quite *different from* formal/technical/systematic rationality.

I’m rejecting the definition that you are calling formal/technical/systemic rationality. If one of those is too limited to encompass a better theory, I call that irrational. Rationality must be “likely to be effective” within what we know and are trying to.
