Not in the the least. The correct term would be foundationalism. Rational inquiry requires a commit ment to the efficacy of resson that is not itself justified by reason.., I.e. faith. Boru was ridiculing the idea that faith has no place in reasoning when if fact relying on reason is itself based on trust.

What am I trusting when I reason?
