Realism‚ like the word real‚ can be defined as the belief in reality. A view that there is a form of ultimate truth even. ‘I argue that the most plausible version of realism is the correspondence theory of truth’ (Realism and the correspondence theory of truth‚ preface.)

Realism is a very old philosophy which dates back to as early as ancient Greece. The many interpretations of realist opinion lead to several varieties of realism. “The most common thread of realism is what may be called the principle of thesis of independence. This thesis holds that reality‚ knowledge‚ and value exist independent of the human mind” (Ozmon & Craver‚ 1995‚ 39).
