Rationality or Rationalism?
I am confused about the use of rationality and rationalism in these sentences I wrote:
- The sacred humanist concepts of secularism, rationality, and democracy...
- Environmental crisis has put a question mark over humanism. Rationalism and democracy are also problematic concepts today.
- Recent developments have countermined the sacrosanct concepts of secular democracy and rationalism...
Is the use of the 2 terms correct in the 3 sentences? Please guide.
