Ontological Realism is a philosophical position asserting that there exists a reality independent of our thoughts, beliefs, or perceptions. It posits that entities, properties, and relations exist in the world regardless of whether we can observe or understand them. This view contrasts with idealism, which suggests that reality is mentally constructed or immaterial. Proponents of Ontological Realism argue that scientific inquiry and empirical evidence can reveal truths about the world. This perspective supports the idea that concepts like atoms, forces, and laws of nature exist objectively, even if our understanding of them evolves over time.
