Hi Tobin,

Tobin Nellhaus <nellhaus-AT-gis.net> writes concerning whether 'Alethia' is
too elitist a title:

No it isn't - unless Bhaskar's theory of truth = that of the CPUSSR. 

What's wrong with what it means in English within the system of concepts
of dialectical critical realism? Stop thinking with your stomach! 

But since you're into stomachs, mine is equally churned by the fact that
in American English 'alethia' means something like either 'it's just
your point of view' or 'The Wall Street Journal'.

However, that's not what the title conveys either!
