I remember finding the word in the Lexicon, but I can't find it anymore because I forgot the word. |

Perhaps Collin might be thinking of the view that truth is whatever "works," and that no abstract principle can claim any greater practicality than any other. The word for that would be "pragmatism." Absolutely not! I was just curious about that word and now I simply can't find it. It's not pragmatism. It's something else on the Lexicon and I can't find it. But isn't "all philosophies work" just another way of saying that philosophy doesn't matter, all are equally useful in practice, anything goes, even a random "hodge podge" or "grab bag" of wildly mixed ideas? Maybe Collin is thinking of Polylogism, "the doctrine that there is not one correct logic, one correct method of reasoning necessarily binding on all men, but that there are many logics, each valid for some men and invalid for the others." "Eclecticism" occurred to me, but that doesn't have its own entry in the Lexicon
