7. Existence / D. Theories of Reality / 3. Reality

12598	Reality is the overlap of true complete theories [Harman]
	Full Idea: Reality is what is invariant among true complete theories.
	From: Gilbert Harman ((Nonsolipsistic) Conceptual Role Semantics [1987], 12.2.4)
	A reaction: The sort of slogan that gets coined in the age of Quine. The whole manner of starting from your theories and working out to what we think reality is seems to be putting the cart before the horse.
