To bring this back to the subject:
"Truth is a [singular] static intellectual pattern [singular] within a
larger entity called Quality. James had tried to make his pragmatism popular by
getting it elected on the coattails of practicality. He was always eager to use
such expressions as 'cash-value,' and 'results,' and 'profits,' in order to
make pragmatism intelligible to 'the man in the street,' but this got James
into hot water. Pragmatism was attacked by critics as an attempt to prostitute
truth to the values of the marketplace. James was furious with this
misunderstanding and he fought hard to correct the misinterpretation, but he
never really overcame the attack.
"What Phaedrus saw was that the Metaphysics of Quality avoided this attack by
making it clear that the good to which truth is [singular] subordinate is
intellectual and Dynamic Quality ..."
(RMP, 'LILA', Chapter 28)

"The MOQ does not turn its back on the empiricist belief that the more we
analyse, the closer we approach to truth. Truth is [singular] the highest
quality static intellectual pattern [singular] and analysis has shown over
and over again historically that it improves the quality of intellectual
patterns."
(RMP, 'Copleston Annotations')
