Ooops!  Sorry about the attribution.  I have't read the Encyclopaedia of
Philosophy, but I have read a reasonable amount of epistemology.  
I wouldn't really describe myself as a "naive" pragmatist (nor would
Antoni I suspect), but one conclusion I did come to is that the theories
of truth that don't contain at least some concessions to the pragmatist 
view are pretty silly.
