How important are realism and determinism to you?
How about Occam's Razor?
Are you instrumentalist? Realist? Positivist?

If this generates any sort of discussion I'll be
pleased.

I have just been looking up related topics to this and I really cannot begin to approach this subject. My vocabulary is far too limited to give a cohesive answer. My understanding of the subject is far removed from my own comfort zone. At the moment all i can think about is the lack of money for Christmas!
