Physical, psychological, or structural harm inflicted on individuals or groups because their ways of knowing are deemed “irrational.” Rationalist violence can include forced conversion to secular norms, suppression of religious practices, pathologizing of non‑rational forms of expression, and online harassment of those who rely on intuition or faith. It is often perpetrated by institutions (schools, courts, medical systems) that enforce a narrow rationalist orthodoxy.
