Metaphysical Realism

Metaphysical realism is the philosophical view that an objective reality exists independently of our perceptions or beliefs about it. In the context of the philosophy of time, it suggests that past events and future possibilities exist in a way that is not merely dependent on human experience or observation. This perspective often contrasts with process philosophy, which emphasizes change and the dynamic nature of reality. While process philosophy views existence as fluid and interconnected, metaphysical realism posits a stable, enduring structure to reality, allowing for the existence of things regardless of our awareness or understanding of them.
