Critical Realism

• Perspectivalism argues that no one is truly objective, as individual beliefs are shaped by culture.
• However, this viewpoint contradicts itself, as the statement itself is culturally constructed.
• Critical realism offers a middle ground, suggesting we assess beliefs based on their consistency with experience, internal logic, and evidence.
• While no belief system can be definitively proven, we can evaluate their relative likelihood of being true.
• This approach encourages a humble pursuit of truth, acknowledging the limits of perspective while still seeking understanding.
