Quatro considerações sobre fazer Realismo filosófico

Abstract

The purpose of this article is to develop four considerations that will allow us to approach philosophical Realism from a complex point of view. It begins by 1) seeking an operational definition of Realism, contrasting it with unrealist, anti-realist, idealist, and materialist positions, with the aim of considering critiques from these positions in order to reject or appropriate some of their guidelines into our own position. Next, we move into 2) a consideration of the term "Complexity," contrasting it with literalist assertions, differentiating between reality and givenness, and providing some considerations into categorical intuition. Then, 3) we explore the connection between Complex Realism and two forms of pluralism (material and formal/categorical) through the principle of irreductions and the conception of the subdisciplines of Ontography and Categorical Analysis. This leads to the notion of pluralism(s) as the milieu and/or dhamma of Complex Realism. Finally, 4) through the notion of interobjectivity, the category of Ontological Work is explored as the ontological factory floor that operates by creating ontognoseological conditions for the production of knowledge, theory, practice, and pragmatism.
