    Pray, enlighten us all as to the criteria or standards by which one is to judge a "more useful" cut or one that "looks better?" Are we, in the end, to rely on our aesthetic sense to determine which philosophy is best?

    Matt:
    Well, people who have read my posts closely would probably have guessed that pragmatists don't think too much of "criteria" or "standards" in the metaphilosophical game of cutting the sand. But relying on our "aesthetic sense" is a good way of putting what pragmatists think we do.
