I've missed that one, KC Burke! It's simply amazing how many books I haven't read! :^) Thank you for the recommendation -- I'll take you up on it, and get a hold of Weaver's
Ideas Have Consequences. Thanks again!
When I was first reading
Ideas.., I read the introductory portions about his views on nominalism and modernity late at night. I got so upset that someone had written such a concise summary almost 50 years ago and I was just then reading it in 2001 that I couldn't stand it. I had to stop, get up and re-read it aloud.
It is a tour de force.
