objection to any sort of idealism. It is a true and important thought; but it is not an objection to Hegel's objective idealism, as here construed. X. Conclusion I have argued: that understanding the objective world as determinate for Hegel entails that it must be understood as a holistic relational structure; that there is a prima facie problem with the intelligibility of strongly holistic relational structures; for the strengthened Harman point, a specific kind of conceptual pragmatism, about construing the relation between objective relations and subjective processes; for an understanding of idealism as a sense dependence relation of objective determinateness on subjective processes of resolving incompatible commitments; and for an understanding of holism also as a sense dependence relation. Hegel's claim is then that the only way to make holism, and so determinateness, intelligible is objective idealism. It then remained only to say what subjective process can make intelligible objective weakly holistic semantic relational structures. For that I offer a model: holistic role abstraction, beginning with signs, and ending with roles played by those signs, or contents expressed by them, thought of in terms of higher order relations among sets of those signs.
