[MD] Humanism

[MarshaV]

Jan,

Sorry for the Santa Barbara distraction.   

Dmb presented a few unexplained paragraphs by W. James, and then concluded with a statement that included "humanism is another name for pragmatism."  How this related to the MoQ I don't believe he ever explained.   

i don't have any concrete opinion on this topic at the moment, so I will just follow along until I do.
