Abstract
Philosopher Stephen Toulmin talks about rationalism, concluding that there have always been two driving forces behind it. On one hand, Professor Toulmin says, it comes from the desire to make theories as elegant as possible, which leads people to make theories essentially mathematical in form. But there is also the desire to show how physical nature and human nature work, which Professor Toulmin says often has a more religious basis which seeks to explain why God chose to make the world one way as opposed to another.
