    Hi Matt

    Sure pragmatism has an epistemology, you do some
    creative language and you say 'it works' test rather than
    'its truth' test. As a critical realist I think we invite nature
    into our conversation, we get a very strange conversation partner, but this
    gives us some contact
    with something non-human, you actually imply it in
    'it works'. How about that for an accusation!

    regards
    David M

    things calm down soon, I'll get back on some of that stuff. Sorry about the
    wait.
