Your Definition

A theoretical framework distinguishing between [pathological] forms of anti-realism (the denial that reality exists, that truth matters, that knowledge is possible) and valid forms that offer genuine critical insight into how we [understand] and represent reality. Valid anti-realism doesn't claim that nothing exists—it claims that our access to reality is always mediated, always shaped by [language], concepts, culture, and cognition. It's the recognition that we never experience reality raw but always through frameworks, that different frameworks reveal different aspects of reality, and that no single framework captures everything. Valid anti-realism is anti-realism about our representations rather than about reality itself—a humble acknowledgment that our maps are not the territory, without denying that the territory exists. It's what prevents scientific dogma, cultural [imperialism], and epistemic arrogance—the reminder that even our best truths are partial, provisional, and perspectival.
