@rechelon i mean, I like the framing of realism vs antirealism, but I think the names need work. I mean, if its about objective reality have you considered calling it objectivism? Really rolls off the tongue. People on the side of reality could call tthemselves Objectivists. Thats catchy.

@Montaagge I didn't invent "realism" or "antirealism" -- they're the standard longstanding umbrella terms in philosophy and in this historical debate, I go into the varying forms and currents at length, including the fraction of self professed relativists who nevertheless claimed to be Kantian realists. The "antirealists" as such chose and often proudly brandish that label. If you want to try to tag in someone like Ayn Rand for dunk points, at least try harder.
