| Rationalism, philosophy: rationalism is a collective term for theories that, in addition to the original question, which statements are true, take the demand for consistency as the starting point for their creation. Rationalist theories are, of course, more linguistic and logical than empirical approaches. In conflict situations, they may be more concerned about coherence than about correspondence. See also empiricism, verifiability, verificationism, coherence, coherence theory, inferentialism._____________Annotation: The above characterizations of concepts are neither definitions nor exhausting presentations of problems related to them.

G.W. Leibniz on Rationalism - Dictionary of Arguments
Holz I 50 Def evidence/certainty/a priori/Leibniz: the certainty (the necessity of identical propositions A = B) is based neither on empiricism nor on deduction, but on an a priori insight. >Identity principle/Leibniz, >Necessity/Leibniz. Rationalism/HolzVsLeibniz: Problem for a philosophy that understands itself "scientifically": this "immediate insight" of so-called final justification leads to a different epistemological level. Danger of an irrationalistic change. >Ultimate justification/Leibniz. I 51 Thus the certainty of the axioms is no longer assured. Leibniz, however, insists on proving them from the "evidence of identity" (with themselves). >Provability/Leibniz, >Proof/Leibniz, >Axiom/Leibniz._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
