[George E. Demetrion]

(The addition of "I link" in third and second to last sentences
corrections the original rendition in the preceding post.

I'm going to take a pass at this point of substantively discussing the
thirteenth chapter to Nicholas Rescher's important book, Philosophical
Reasoning:  A Study in the Methodology of Philosophizing (2001).
Blackwell, except to note that in that chapter titled Systematization as
an Instrument of Inquiry, in focusing on a " coherence epistemology of
truth," he draws out the importance of "fit" and "attunement" as the best
we are likely to find through research. He's not making the argument that
coherence in itself is a worthy aim of philosophical reasoning, but
"coherence with the data of experience."  I refrain from further
discussion of the book, but in a forthcoming  work I link Rescher  to the
qualitative research model of Sharan B. Merriam, Case Study Research in
education:  A Qualitative Approach as well as to the pragmatic logic of
John Dewey in the quest of what he refers to as "warranted assertability.
