Philosophy For Our Times

CHAPTER

Navigating Realism and Language

This chapter examines the intricate relationship between subjectivity and objectivity in philosophy, particularly through the lens of realism. It discusses how language shapes our understanding of truth, using examples like gender classification and historical events to illustrate the tension between subjective narratives and objective realities. The speakers also address the societal impacts of these philosophical frameworks, particularly in contemporary politics, warning against the dangers of adhering strictly to a singular perspective.
