Here's what "reason and evidence" looks like. Notice there is no exception
made for American Pragmatism.
RMP (2005):
"The Metaphysics of Quality is not intended to be within any philosophic
tradition, although obviously it was not written in a vacuum. ... The
Metaphysics of Quality's central idea that the world is nothing but value is
not part of any philosophic tradition that I know of. I have proposed it
because it seems to me that when you look into it carefully it makes more sense
than all the other things the world is supposed to be composed of. One
particular strength lies in its applicability to quantum physics, where
substance has been dismissed but nothing except arcane mathematical formulae
has really replaced it." (RMP, 'A Brief Summary of the MOQ')
