Philosophical Anti-Realism

Philosophical anti-realism is the view that the existence or nature of things doesn’t exist independently of our thoughts, perceptions, or language. It challenges the idea that there is an objective reality fully separate from our understanding. Instead, anti-realists argue that what we consider "truth" or "reality" depends on human perspectives, conceptual schemes, or cultural contexts. Essentially, it questions whether things are "out there" in an absolute sense, suggesting our knowledge is always mediated by our ways of thinking and interpreting the world.
