The graph from Google Ngram Viewer displays the frequency of the term "rationalism" in books from 1800 to 2019. Usage rises gradually in the early 19th century, peaking around 1860, likely due to Enlightenment influences. After fluctuating for decades, it declines in the early 20th century, possibly due to the rise of empiricism and pragmatism. A moderate recovery starts after 1940, followed by a sharp increase after 2000, peaking around 2015–2019. The recent decline suggests a shift in intellectual focus. Overall, the graph reflects the evolving relevance of rationalism in philosophical and cultural discourse over time.[1]
