Abstract
In this article, after reviewing the difference between fundamentalist and antifundamentalist
philosophy, the features of the rationality will be explained from the perspective
of five anti-fundamentalist philosophers (Habermas, Richard Rorty, MacIntyre, Michel
Foucault and Hayek). The common point stated by all these philosophers is that they
all criticize metaphysics and doubt about the basis of fundamentalist narrative on the world
that rely on two predicates: first, the world has rational constitution and it is possible to reduce
it to precise mathematical relations and second, that basis of the world is reflected totally
in the mind of human beings.
