23068 | People who really believe anti-realism don't bother to prove it [Cioran] |
Full Idea: When you know quite absolutely that everything is unreal, you then cannot see why you should take the trouble to prove it. | |
From: E.M. Cioran (The Trouble with Being Born [1973], 02) | |
A reaction: Does the same apply to realists? There are at least genuine arguments in both directions. Presumably the thought is that realists have something they care about, but true anti-realists don't. |
