    Hello again,

    Just to clear up the confusion arising from my labrynthine sentence
    construction :)

    Ian asked:
    Not sure I understand your last phrase Michael - "MoQ disqualifiesfrom
    pragmatism" ? Are you saying MoQ is "qualified pragmatism" - I'mhoping - as
    opposded to "not" pragamtism ?

    MH replies:
    "Qualified pragmatism" is a good label for what I was suggesting, and it's
    certainly my interpretation of the passage on pragmatism in Lila.
    Pragmatism: truths/beliefs are values, and can be evaluated in terms of
    their pragmatic value.
    MOQ qualified pragmatism: pragmatic evaluation of truths must never be
    limited to social value. Enslaving truth to static social value retards
    evolution.

    Mike
