| Description: | Select Guide Rating This Element aims to introduce the reader to the core commitments of metaphysical realism, and to illustrate how these commitments have changed over time by surveying some of the main families of views that realism has been contrasted with: (radical) scepticism, idealism, and anti-realism.
