[6]Kenneth Udut [7]Linc Cholke Thoroughly enjoyed Rorty on
Truth. Short and sweet and to the point. I love his bold
"calling out" of pragmatists. I tend towards pragmatism as a
general "good way to be" but not as a Truth measure. It's
practical because it's practical. It's true insofar as it
works, but being true doesn't necessarily make it Truth, as
it were. He's a joy.

[11]Kenneth Udut [12]Linc Cholke I analogize it to the
difference between the Engineering Method and the Scientific
Method, often confused by people. An Engineer can happily
build a bridge using methods that work, without requiring a
Universally true theory that explains it. Or the difference
between Biology and Physics. In Biology, they know they're
doing their best as they go along and fully expect
contradiction and messiness and singularities galore. In
Physics, they expect to eliminate contradiction, messiness
and singularities, etc. That's how I see it anyway. YMMV.
