In the ___________ tradition of the Enlightenment, the philosopher believed that reason alone could dismantle every prejudice, no matter how deeply rooted in custom or tradition.
Correct: A
Rationalist refers to the philosophical tradition that regards reason as the chief source of knowledge and the primary means of discovering truth, independent of sensory experience. The Enlightenment emphasis on reason dismantling prejudice aligns with rationalism. Empiricist emphasizes knowledge derived from sensory experience, iconoclast emphasizes the destruction of established beliefs (but is not a philosophical tradition per se), and scholastic refers to medieval philosophical methods rooted in Aristotelian logic and theology.
