Realism: A Paradox is a philosophical work written by David Martineau Haylings in 1899. The book explores the concept of realism, which is the belief that reality exists independently of our perception of it. Haylings argues that while realism is a widely accepted philosophical position, it is also a paradox. He contends that the very act of perceiving reality requires a subjective interpretation, which means that our understanding of reality is always mediated by our own perceptions and biases. Haylings examines the historical development of realism as a philosophical position, tracing its roots back to ancient Greek philosophy and exploring its evolution through the works of philosophers such as Ren����� Descartes and Immanuel Kant. He also critiques the limitations of realism, arguing that it fails to account for the role of the individual in shaping their own reality.Overall, Realism: A Paradox is a thought-provoking exploration of one of the most fundamental concepts in philosophy. It challenges readers to consider the limitations of their own perceptions and to question the nature of reality itself.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
