Occidental rationalism (or instrumental rationalism) is the specific type of rationalism that the sociologist Max Weber claimed to have developed in Western societies over the past couple of hundred years. Specifically this developed out in predominantly Protestant countries and was the result of ascetic values associated with such sects. He explored these notions in the book The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism.
