"Chasing Reality deals with the controversies over the reality of the external world. Philosopher Mario Bunge offers an extended defence of realism, a critique of various forms of contemporary antirealism, and a sketch of his own version of realism, namely hylorealism. Bunge examines the main varieties of antirealism - Berkeley's, Hume's, and Kant's; positivism, phenomenology, and constructivism - and argues that all of these in fact hinder scientific research."--Jacket.

First Sentence
"We deal with facts all the time, yet there is no consensus on the meaning of the very word 'fact,' particularly since in ordinary language it is often confused with either 'datum' or 'truth.'"
