PHI 325 REALISM AND ANTI-REALISM

An exploration of the most fundamental question in contemporary philosophy: whether there exists any mind-independent world and, if so, what its constituents might be. We examine this question within various domains of philosophy (aesthetics, ethics, perception, etc.), looking at the work of philosophers such as Mackie, Goodman, Quine, Putnam, and Rorty.
