Styles of rationality

Article Abstract:

A diversity of styles of rationality, each located within its personal and cultural context, must be accepted instead of attempting to find a universal standard or unity of styles of rationality. Such acceptance of diverse styles of rationality must be followed by attempts to coordinate the different styles in a way that will reconcile their differences, and thus enhance the rational approach to truth. A possible method to create such coordination between different styles, allowing their respective personal and cultural features, is suggested.

Popper's theory of the closed society conflicts with his theory of research

Article Abstract:

Popper's theory of the attraction of closed societies and his theory of research differ from each other because the former sees rational thought as contrary to man's nature, while the latter sees it as an inherent psychological process. This difference was because Popper developed a theory of the movement from the closed society seeing civilized society as a burden, however, he adapted Selz's view which sees rationality as natural.
