#irrational
- Allogical — Being outside the realm of logic, not utilizing the formal criteria or rules of rational reasoning; foreign to standard logical structures, yet without necessarily being absurd or contradictory (antilogic). In philosophy, it defines pure intuitions or deep affective states that escape rigorous conceptual analysis and cannot be explained through mathematical syllogisms.
- Allogism — A philosophical attitude, movement, or artistic device that denies the role of logical thought and reason in knowledge, holding that absolute truth can only be approached through intuition, faith, or mystical experience. In literary avant-garde (such as Dadaism or Surrealism), it represents an intentional technique of breaking natural syntactic and logical connections to release the subconscious.
- Anti-logical — Contrary to the laws of formal logic, reason, or common sense; presenting a contradictory structure that eliminates the possibility of coherent deduction. In a philosophical sense, it describes an aberrant reasoning, an absurd paradigm, or a paradoxical system of thought that defies the fundamental principles of identity and non-contradiction.
- Anti-logicality — The property, trait, or state of an utterance, reasoning, or conceptual system of being completely devoid of formal logic, violating the laws of reason, or containing insurmountable internal contradictions. In a structural sense, it represents the absurd or irrational character of an argumentative framework that prevents the establishment of a provable truth.
- Anti-rational — Opposed to reason, logic, or the principles of rational thought; contrary to logical common sense or methods of knowledge based on evidence and deductive reasoning. In a philosophical sense, the term characterizes doctrines or currents (such as irrationalism or radical mysticism) that consider reason limited or incapable of grasping absolute truth, emphasizing intuition, impulse, blind faith, or mystical experience.
- Anti-rationalism — A philosophical current or theoretical attitude that rejects rationalism, contesting the primacy of reason as the supreme instrument of knowledge and understanding of reality. This epistemological doctrine argues that pure intellect and logical deduction are limited, dogmatic, or incapable of penetrating the essence of existence, giving absolute priority to intuition, mystical experience, religious faith, or vital and instinctual impulses of the human being.
- Anti-rationalist — Belonging to anti-rationalism, demonstrating opposition to rationalism, or contesting the absolute value of reason. As a noun, it denotes the philosopher or thinker who criticizes logical dogmatism, arguing that the deepest human experiences (artistic, spiritual, or intuitive) cannot be understood or explained through rational formulas.
- Anti-rationalist — The feminine form of antiraționalist; a woman, academic work, or theoretical orientation demonstrating opposition to dogmatic rationalism and contesting the primacy of formal logic as the sole path to knowledge. In the context of philosophical analysis, it describes an epistemological perspective or intellectual stance emphasizing intuition, inner experience, faith, or instinct over cold mathematical models.
