Philosophy of Reality

The philosophy of reality explores the nature of existence and what it means for something to be real. Metaphysics examines the fundamental structure of reality, including concepts like time, space, and identity. Ontology, a branch of metaphysics, categorizes what kinds of things exist. The deflationary theory of truth suggests that asserting something is true merely reflects our confidence in it, without requiring a deeper explanation. Together, these areas help us understand not just what is out there, but how we perceive and articulate our understanding of reality.
