Where is the term 'panrationalism' defined?[edit]

The article gives no source for this coinage. — Charles Stewart (talk) 01:07, 6 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

My personal MEMORY is that the late Dr. William Warren Bartley, III, had developed 'CCR' or 'Comprehensively Critical Rationalism' to overcome the presumed shortcomings of BOTH 'comprehensive rationalism' and 'critical rationalism', which he demonstrated in The Retreat to Commitment (footnoted in the article). Reading that book may be how to develop deeper insights into CCR, which (as far as I can tell) was renamed 'Panrationalism'! MaynardClark (talk) 01:40, 6 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

We need a source for the exact term 'panrationalism' to justify having an article by that name. It would be good if you could dig up a source for the renaming, otherwise I think I will nominate this article for deletion. — Charles Stewart (talk) 08:23, 6 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

This article should be deleted: it suggests that the term 'panrationalism' corresponds to a concept in common currency, when this is certainly not the case. As noted above, no source is cited for the term. It also makes vague and unjustified assertions. Were 'panrationalism' more than a confused neologism, it would not refer to an epistemic attitude (some kind of stringent skeptical verificationism) but a metaphysical position, in line with the use of 'pan' in 'pantheism' (everything is God), 'panpsychism' (everything is mindlike), and 'panlogicism' (everything is logical or thinkable).
