  1. naive realism

    Naive realism is a psychological theory that suggests individuals believe the way they see the world is the most accurate, objective representation of reality. People who align with this thinking assume their perceptions or beliefs are true and those who disagree with them are uninformed, irrational, or biased. The theory also represents the belief that physical objects continue to exist exactly as they are, even when not being observed.

  1. Naïve realism

    Naïve realism, also known as direct realism or common sense realism, is a philosophy of mind rooted in a theory of perception that claims that the senses provide us with direct awareness of the external world. In contrast, some forms of idealism assert that no world exists apart from mind-dependent ideas and some forms of skepticism say we cannot trust our senses. The realist view is that objects are composed of matter, occupy space and have properties, such as size, shape, texture, smell, taste and colour, that are usually perceived correctly. We perceive them as they really are. Objects obey the laws of physics and retain all their properties whether or not there is anyone to observe them. Naïve realism is known as direct as against indirect or representative realism when its arguments are developed to counter the latter position, also known as epistemological dualism; that our conscious experience is not of the real world but of an internal representation of the world.
