    I am assuming you mean: anti-realist, anti-rationalist. Right?

    I hadn't put things in any visual order, so I built a webpage chart:
    http://www.htcomp.net/markmills/real-rational.htm

    (some new labels)
    upper left: Realist & anti-rational (pure realist)
    lower left: Anti-realist & anti-rationalist (anarchist, nihilist)
    upper right: Realist & rationalist (pragmatist, enlightened?)
    lower right: Anti-realist & rationalist (pure rationalist)

    I keep wondering if it is possible to be both rationalist and realist.
