Semantic Realism and Aesthetic Realism
SubStance, 1993The recent boom in cognitive science has renewed interest in the following question: is literature a means of knowledge? Language was a means of knowledge, even before the notion of literature appeared.

The chapter argues that the search for a single construal of the realism/anti-realism distinction is misguided. There are more or less apt versions of the distinction, each framed with a specific set of interests. The terms of art, ‘realist’ and ‘anti-realist’, are not helpfully construed as applying across whole domains (‘science’, ‘religion’, ‘ethics’

Abstract Disputes about realism should be construed as disputes not about a class of entities, but about the truth‐value of the statements in a given class.

In The Politics of Friendship (1997), Derrida describes the democratic as a pact between a band of brothers that is made in the name of the father. Derrida’s approach to this question cannot be fully appreciated without reference to Sigmund Freud’s controversial book, Totem and Taboo (1918), which Derrida relies upon as a kind of ur-text offering a ...

Quine on Objects: Realism or Anti‐Realism?
Theoria, 2012AbstractW. V. Quine describes himself as a “robust realist” about physical objects in the external world. This realism about objects is due to Quine's naturalism. On the other hand, Quine's naturalistic epistemology involves a conception of objects as posits that we introduce in our theories about the world.

Pacific Philosophical Quarterly, 2012AbstractRealism and anti‐realism about a domain of thought are metaphysical theses that involve the natures of the truthmakers in that domain and the truthmaking relation that is operant in the domain. Truthmaker theory is not exclusive territory for realists: anti‐realist views are also best understood in terms of how they understand truthmakers and ...

Implications of the ontological and epistemological premises for practical problems in knowledge elicitation are ...

Philosophia Reformata, 2006
In my book God’s Call1 I gave an historical account of the debate within twentieth century analytic philosophy between moral realism and expressivism. Moral realism is the view that moral properties like goodness or cruelty exist independently of our making judgements that things have such properties.

ACM SIGGRAPH ASIA 2009 Educators Program, 2009
The "illusion of life" has long been a mantra for educators of animation. In the past, the artistry of animation has been centred around how to create this illusion with environments, objects and characters that are clearly not alive. However, in recent years technology has successfully given animators this very illusion.

Abstract Posthuman figures exist in literature but not in the real world, making it a seemingly odd subject for realism. Realism as a style has, on the other hand, played a significant role in speculative fiction that ranges from science fiction to a range of canonical works in European ...
