Contact with Reality

Meer over het boek

Exploring the nature of knowledge, this book delves into the philosophical debate of realism versus antirealism. It questions whether we can access an independent reality or if our understanding is merely shaped by personal constructs. The author argues that this inquiry is not trivial; it significantly influences modern Western culture, which grapples with skepticism, relativism, and a growing distrust of objective reality. The discussion highlights the profound implications of these philosophical positions on our lives and beliefs.
