Why where the names 'Objectivists' and 'Rationalists' chosen as cluster names, when those are names of rather specific systems?
Chalmers and Bourget chose the first five names. 'Objectivism' and 'Rationalism' are already used by a large number of very different world-views, which I imagine made them less worried about adding two more to the pile. Also, a higher value in Rationalism does tend to make you more likely to self-identify as a rationalist, in the 'not an empiricist' sense.
Thanks; the names were a factor which had me turned around a bit before I saw the 'dimension' clarification, because I thought that those names were referring to one of the groups which claims that name as their referent.
