There has been a resurgence of interest in the problem of realism,
the idea that the world exists in the way it does independently of
the mind, within contemporary Continental philosophy. Many, if not
most, of those writing on the topic demonstrates attitudes that
range from mild skepticism to outright hostility. Richard Sebold
argues that the problem with this is that realism is correct and
that the question should then become: what happens to Continental
philosophy if it is committed to the denial of a true doctrine?
Sebold outlines the reasons why realism is superior to anti-realism
and shows how Continental philosophical arguments against realism
fail. Focusing on the work of four important philosophers, Kant,
Hegel, Nietzsche, and Husserl, all of who have had a profound
influence on more recent thinkers, he provides alternative ways of
interpreting their apparently anti-realist sentiments and
demonstrates that the insights of these Continental philosophers
are nevertheless valuable, despite their problematic metaphysical
beliefs.
