Nikolas, You state: "So science, unlike dogma, is capable of changing with the Dynamic flow of the Universe - just as we are capable of evolving, and thus there is an Absolute and a Relative element of Truth"
I reply: The question isn't whether there is any absolute truth, the question is whether its pragmatic to mythologize such an absolute. We are stuck in myth and it's impossible to live outside of some mythic structure (paintings hanging in a gallery) I believe that's what Royce meant by "Absolute Pragmatism". We find ourselves in a situation where we have to create categories, but we mustn't be captivated by them. Baggini's original argument that Ron posted at the beginning of this thread - was pointing out the effects of a values-free society. Nihilism breeds dogmatism. Your over-all point is well taken - wisdom is found in synthesis, more than analyzing and choosing of extremes as positions.
