| Comments: | The JEs either have rationalist alone, or lead with it followed by other glosses. None split senses but I'm comfortable with a split. |

| Comments: | Found this because I was curious about the mismatch between EDICT's definitions for 合理主義 and 合理主義者. Judging by the GG5 entry it seems like 合理主義者 has both the obvious "somebody who believes in 合理主義" i.e "rationalist" sense and a second "practically minded person" sense, rather than 合理主義 also meaning "pragmatism". But I'm just working off the dictionary entries here... To my mind a pragmatist and a rationalist are two different things, hence two senses. |
