A proposed taxonomy of realism in conceptual frameworks / P. Valore. - In: EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF PRAGMATISM AND AMERICAN PHILOSOPHY. - ISSN 2036-4091. - 13:1(2021), pp. 1-10. [10.4000/EJPAP.2331]
Abstract:
One of the complications of a clear evaluation of different positions called "realism" in metaphysics and ontology is discrepancy in terminology and variance of basic intuitions inherent this notion. I recommend a taxonomy that distinguishes three kinds of variance: variance in the sets of conditions for a philosophical position to be acknowledged as actual realism, variance in strength and variance in conceptual frameworks. Within this last case, I propose to differentiate realism in epistemology, in ontology, and in metaphysics, intersecting these three variants with the local/global realism dichotomy. The taxonomy here provided aims at being metaphilosophical; expressive enough for a fine-grained articulation of different philosophical positions in the recent debate, including the question of metaphysical grounding; and impartial, with no need to be connected to the defense of one form or another of the philosophical positions called "realism.
