Isi artikel

This article explores (the concept of) ‘reality’ from the vantage point of an integrational epistemology (Harris, 2009a). It considers ontological and epistemological questions pertinent to evolutionary biology, history and linguistics and argues that an integrational account of sign-making, which places the individual’s experience at its center, shows how deeply these disciplines (and others) rely on a misconceived view of how real people relate to the world ‘as it is’ (or ‘was’). What is ‘real’ cannot hence be established ‘objectively’, assuming a reocentric model of the world, nor should it be conceived of as discursively constructed, but rather as the result of contextualization by individuals.
