The
Rational Argumentator
Principal Index
"Shake off all the fears of servile prejudices, under which weak minds are servilely crouched. Fix reason firmly in her seat, and call on her tribunal for every fact, every opinion."
~ Thomas Jefferson
The
Rational Argumentator is a Journal for Western Man, championing the
Western principles of Reason, Rights, and Progress since August 30,
2002. TRA does not eschew intellectual discourse of any depth or complexity; it welcomes
civil discussion and debate of the ideas which animate human
activities, cultures, and societies. We encourage you to read
the ideas TRA has to offer and, if you wish, submit your own. For a
more thorough presentation of TRA's core principles, you can read TRA's
six manifestos by G. Stolyarov II, TRA's Founder, Proprietor, and
Editor-in-Chief.
