A Thing of This World: A History of Continental Anti-Realism

The book explores the pivotal debate of realism versus anti-realism, highlighting its significance in both analytic and continental philosophy. It delves into the influence of Kant's philosophy, particularly his notion that the mind plays an active role in organizing experience, and traces how this concept has shaped anti-realist thought. By employing a framework from notable analytic philosophers, the text provides a comprehensive analysis of these philosophical tensions and their historical roots.
