Preferred term
antirealism
Definition
- Antirealism is a term covering a series of influential movements in philosophy and science including constructivism, conventionalism, instrumentalism, existentialism, and deconstruction. The overlap among these diverse positions is the attempt to avoid certain traps associated with realism, such as the isolation of consciousness, the quest for certainty, a tendency to seek foundations to knowledge, and, most specifically, a belief in the objective and independent existence of one kind of entity rather than another.
