The Mistake of “Real XX”

  • One common mistake made by philosophers is to consider something as the “real XX” when it is actually a fake, while considering something imaginary as the real thing.

  • This leads to the illusion of discussing profound matters.

  • The proponents of “Future Realism” or “Present Realism” claim to do this. (Philosophizing “Time”)

  • I believe that defining the “real thing” by generalizing familiar things is not a mistake, contrary to the above. (blu3mo)
