There's an old disagreement between this group and the "Rationalists". At least that's how Kant saw it. I don't know if the characters in these groups would have considered this an important distinction.
Philosophical "Rationalists"π

- 1632-1677 Baruch Spinoza
- 1646-1716 Gottfried Leibniz
Do not confuse these with the dogmatists in the early history of medicine, who have also been called "rationalists". 5th century medicine looks similar to 17th century philosophy in that the "rationalists" disagreed with the "empiricists", however the terms do not mean the same things.
