    Hi Matt K

    I have just been reading some Berkeley the famous idealist.
    He argues for his version of idealism by rejecting the notion
    of being able to represent objects in the mind, that there
    is no way to distinguish between primary and secondary
    qualities, that all experience is phenomenal and that there
    is nothing we can gain access to with which to compare any
    represenations to. My more general question for you is what
    are the differences between pragmatism and idealism and why
    do you support one and not the other? And does this help to clarify
    how the MOQ is to be understood?

    regards
    David M
