Rationalism largely rejects continental philosophy in favor of a more analytic approach. Yes these ideas are not new, but they’re not really the mainstream stuff you’d see in philosophy, literature, or history studies. You’d have to seek out these classes specifically to find them.

They largely reject analytic philosophy as well. Austin and Whitehead are roughly as detestable to a Rationalist as Foucault and Marx.
Carlyle, Chesterton and Thoreau are about the limit of their philosophical knowledge base.

Analytical philosophy is rationalism done right.
