[QUOTE="snavneet, post: 6150, member: 334"] [size=2]Sat Sri Akaal Ji. :wah: Caramel Ji, I am still not clear about where I've misunderstood because all my understanding of Realism and Anti-Realism is based on the definitions provided by you in your first post. And, in every subsequent post I've tried to justify my point of view based on those definitions. In the last post, I've even suggested modified definitions based on your inputs because the initial one's appear to be fuzzy and incomplete. Since, your replies have not been as forthcoming as I had expected, I'll put everything in terms of a simple questionnaire that'll be easier for you to answer and will help me to understand the concepts better. Please read the statements below and label the subject as a Realist or an Anti-Realist and justify if needed: 1) I believe that you exist even though I've never seen you in person. What am I? 2) I believe that atoms of matter exist even though my senses cannot perceive them the way scientists define them. What am I? 3) A man blind from birth says that light does not exist. What is he? 4) Another man blind from birth says that light exists. What is he? 5) A man became blind at a later stage in life and then he was found saying that light exists. What is he? 6) A man became blind at a later stage in life and then he was found saying that light does not exist. What is he? 7) I believe in the concept of death even though I don't remember having died anytime in the past. What am I? 8) I believe that there is a soul within me even though I've no ways to prove it to your senses through any physical experiments. What am I? 9) I've never seen Mr.XYZ, but I believe Mr.XYZ exists. What am I? 10) A person has never seen Mr.XYZ and believes that Mr.XYZ does not exist. What is he? 11) There is someone who met Mr.XYZ yesterday and today when I met him, he told me that Mr.XYZ exists. What is he? 12) Another person met Mr.XYZ yesterday but today when I met him, he told me that Mr.XYZ does not exist. What is he? 13) I see myself in mirror reflections. I find people noticing me in everyday life. People call me by my name and talk to me at length, making me feel that I exist as this body. But I do not believe I am this body. What am I? 14) My friend found dinosaur bones in his backyard, but he believes that dinosaurs never existed. He tells me, "Show me a living, breathing dinosaur!" What do you call him? 15) I believe that nothing is impossible. What am I? 16) Mr.X believes that reality has an intrinsic, mind-independent nature. What is he? 17) Mr.Y believes that reality has no intrinsic, mind-independent nature. What is he?
