As a materialist I agree that all existent things are grounded in materiality, but that's still not what speakers of English mean by 'exist'. For example, souls are not grounded in materiality but would still be said to exist IF AND ONLY IF they can have causal relationships with the rest of the universe. -- brian@holtz.org http://humanknowledge.net
