Metaphysical Anti-Realism

Metaphysical anti-realism is the philosophical view that asserts that the world and its properties do not exist independently of our perceptions or beliefs. In simpler terms, it suggests that rather than there being a fixed reality that exists regardless of our thoughts, reality is shaped by our experiences and interpretations. This perspective challenges the idea of an objective, mind-independent world, emphasizing the role of human consciousness in understanding and constructing what we consider "real." Thus, truth and existence can vary based on individual or cultural perspectives rather than being universally the same.
