Well Ron, I'm still working my way through pragmatism and radical empiricism. I have enjoyed this method of philsophical questioning, taking the text, commenting using my immediate reaction and publishing my immediate critique for the perusal of more professional and thoughtful philosophers. It's a fun game I'd recommend to any and all! So I'm gonna finish up my comments on Kreuger tonight, before I read feedback, and then I will deal with the feedback, and then finish reading through Dean Summers paper and see if it lends itself to insightful analysis. It has been a busy couple of days for me, with long hours going up to Tahoe and Truckee to install stairs and I haven't been able to finish what I started this weekend.
An ongoing challenge for me.
