Our thoughts about the world are clearly influenced by such things
as point of view, temperament, past experience and culture.
However, some thinkers go much further and argue that everything
that exists depends on us, arguing that 'even reality is relative'.
Can we accept such a claim in the face of events such as floods and
other natural disasters or events seemingly beyond our control?
'Realists' argue that reality is independent of out thinking.
'Relativists' disagree, arguing that what there is depends on our
point of view. Which is right?
Robert Kirk provides a crystal clear account of this debate from
the Greek philosophers to Wittgenstein and Rorty. Along the way, he
unpacks some of the more complicated issues surrounding ideas of
objectivity, subjectivity, pragmatism and realism essential for
those beginning any study of philosphy.
