I assume that last one comes from REBT?
I don't know how we should accommodate (or respond to) the popular and REBT uses of the term. The difference between our usage and the philosophical version seems less important. If we advocate the Bayesian view of probability as an extension of logic, then we could easily speak of Bayesian rationalism.
I mean, we'd have to explain why the term excludes circular 'Bayesian proofs' of Christianity, but in effect we have to do that anyway.
I've never heard of REBT, so I don't think anything in my post came from it.
