WHAT DOES ANTIREALISM MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Anti-realism

In analytic philosophy, the term anti-realism is used to describe any position involving either the denial of an objective reality or the denial that verification-transcendent statements are either true or false. This latter construal is sometimes expressed by saying "there is no fact of the matter as to whether or not P." Thus, we may speak of anti-realism with respect to other minds, the past, the future, universals, mathematical entities, moral categories, the material world, or even thought. The two construals are clearly distinct but often confused. For example, an "anti-realist" who denies that other minds exist is quite different from an "anti-realist" who claims that there is no fact of the matter as to whether or not there are unobservable other minds.
