Epistemic Anti-Realism

Epistemic anti-realism is a philosophical view that questions whether we can truly know or claim objective knowledge about the external world as it exists independently of our perceptions or beliefs. It suggests that our understanding of reality is limited or mediated by our cognitive tools and frameworks, making certainty about an external, mind-independent reality problematic. Instead, knowledge is seen as more context-dependent, subjective, or constructed, emphasizing the limits of human cognition and the idea that our claims about reality are shaped by our perspectives rather than direct access to an ultimate, objective truth.
