Steve:
Let me and that one thing that radical empiricism is quite good for is
critiquing traditional "sense impression" empricism as not being
empirical enough. As a form of anti-foundationalism it is good stuff.
But when it gets reasserted later as a quasi-foundation for supporting
epistemology it is either useless or a step backward into
foundationalism.

Best,
Steve
