Hverdagsvirkelighet og ting i seg selv

摘要

In Retrieving Realism (2015) Dreyfus and Taylor(D&T) aim to 1) reject what they call ?the mediational picture?in favor of a ?contact theory? regarding the mind-world relation,2) defend a distinction between ?everyday reality? and things asthey are in themselves, and 3) do this without positing daring philosophicaltheses. The problem is that 2) seems to undermine the possibilityof both 1) and 3). This article reviews some of the central elementsin D&T's arguments, before sketching a more satisfactory approachtoward an unproblematic realism by way of a phenomenological analysisof perception.
