An ossified neo-scholastic—on the one bank of the river, traditionalist, on the other bank, eclectic, but it is the same river. Committed to the triumph of realism, fond of the possibility of error theory, keen on collecting paradoxes to populate my Meinongian jungle, diagrammatic reasoning (esp. in the shadow of Peirce), & whatever else I can throw on my pile of trivia, because trivia is only conditionally trivial.
