Pynchon & Math (Aristotle vs. Plato)

[Markekohut]

Alice,

Chodat reaches this internal "conclusion" in his characterization of what pragmatists believe.
THAT internal definitional "conclusion" re what pragmatists believe is wrong, I say.

It leads him to his we (pragmatists?) " must " choose one" . that is also wrong, IMHO.

I am not speaking of the "moreover" analogy, which is a separate conversation which I am only interested in as it pertains to AtD. 

I am speaking about Chodat's mis characterization of reading fiction ( if one is or is not a pragmatist)
