Review: "In this book Drew Khlentzos explains the antirealist argument from a realist perspective. He defends naturalistic realism against the antirealist challenge, and he considers the consequences of his defense for our understanding of realism and truth. Khlentzos argues that the naturalistic realist view that the world exists independently of the mind must take into consideration the representation problem: if the naturalistic realist view is true, how can mental representation of the world be explained?"--Jacket
