    Makes me wonder if all that is the case, i.e. the universe, is the existence of objects (materialism) or information (idealism).

    “Objects of your conception” seems to imply a transcendent perspective that can distinguish between concept and object. Am I overthinking this?

    Hi Tim,

    It helps to read “object” in a fuller sense than we often do in billiard‑ball philosophies, as a lot gets lost in the translation from the Greek “pragma” from which pragmatism naturally takes it cue. For a sample of that fuller sense see the following lexicon entry.
