Abstract

The notion of reality is strictly intertwined with the concreteness of our cognitive and evaluative practices, their complexity, and the dynamism of the inevitable interference of empirical and logico-semantic factors that constitute it. From this perspective, the demand to choose between realism and anti-realism can only appear as a pseudo-problem which is moreover nourished with unsustainable dualisms, such as those between mind and world, pragmatic and epistemic, as well as the methodological dichotomies that gather around such oppositions.
