Cartesian anxiety--Thinking of Decartes (longing for certainty, but doubting its existence)

David Paulsen: The God of Abraham, Issac, and William James - Article about nature of God.
John Dewey: Pragmitism and functional psychology is an alternative to objectivism and relativism.
Pragmitism: If something works satisfactory, then it is true. The problem with pragmitism is things that work may not be appropriate (torture in school).
