Hi
Thought I would add this to a recent ref to Eagleton
moving away from postmodernism, there are alternatives:
http://www.philosophynow.org/issue42/42caldwell1.htm
Epistemological pluralism does not entail no ontology.
Perhaps this will make some room for the MOQ to emerge
into the culture a bit more. Surely something working or being
useful (pragmatism) imples realism, it implies that the interaction with the
contents
of our experience (things) does something with something, we do not sit
around
changing our ideas until we get what we want, we interact with the world,
we do work, we make changes, we improve our experiences, and guess
what, science does make progress, a universe of event/process does not
suggest any thing-in-itself that we cannot actually know, anti-realists are
just
new clothes Kantians with improved critical thinking, thanks for the
improved
critical thinking, but hello Critical Realism.
Over to you Matt.
regards
David M
