They don't seem to take anti-materialistic monism seriously either! :-) It's hard to get tenure these days if you ever mention solipsism, the direct conclusion of Descartes' cogito (which he never seemed to quite get to himself) or solipsism seriously. Individually or in some creative combo move. I don't know if that's because people think that Kant has been beat up enough that they don't want to be seen standing near his stinking corpse, or thinking about it just makes some people feel 'icky' or what. Which is too bad, because I find that Johnson's (to Berkeley) "I refute it thus!" to be more of a hissy fit than a satisfying response. IDK. Maybe I'd just like someone to use more words? :-)
