In The New Inquisition, Robert Anton Wilson rails against what he calls "'''Fundamentalist Materialism'''" a dogmatic skepticism that rejects [[paranormal]] claims a priori. In its place, he recommends a "'''liberal materialism'''" based on a principle of [[agnostic]]ism which "refuses total belief or total denial and regards models as tools to be used only and always where appropriate and replaced (by other models) only and always where not appropriate." |

In its place, he recommends a "liberal materialism" based on a principle of agnosticism which "refuses total belief or total denial and regards models as tools to be used only and always where appropriate and replaced (by other models) only and always where not appropriate."
