The article claims:

Some irrealists have adopted a militancy uncharacteristic of members of other philosophical tendencies and put irrealist theories into practice.

I doubt this. What does it mean to "put irrealist theories into practice"? Please do explain. I would suspect that this is what some numbskull musicians say they do, but that when they "put irrealist theories into practice" they evince no understanding of those theories at all. I've had graduate courses that went into considerable depth regarding the realism/anti-realism/irrealism (and pseudo-realism) debates, and I really haven't got a clue as to what it means to say to put irrealism into practice.

I've asked this before and received no good answer. I'm going to remove it from the article until the point is explained further. --LMS
