The essays in this volume, first presented at an international
conference held at the University of Urbino, Italy, in 2011,
explore the different senses of realism, arguing both for and
against its distinctive theses and considering these senses from a
historical point of view. The first sense is the metaphysical
thesis that whatever exists does so, and has the properties it has,
independently of whether it is the object of a person's thought or
perception. The second sense of realism is epistemological, wherein
realism claims that, in some cases, it is possible to know the
world as it exists in and of itself. A third sense, which has
become known as ontological realism, states that universals exist
as well as individuals. The essays collected here make new
contributions to these fundamental philosophical issues, which have
largely defined western analytic philosophy, from Plato and
Aristotle to the present day.
