| Reality, philosophy: A. It is controversial, which should be counted to reality, that is to say, the set of objects and states which occur in the world. Theories differ strongly regarding the definitions of facts and situations or the consideration of internal states of subjects. Thus, a situation can be described in many ways, whereby very different assumptions about the involved objects and relations come into play. See also ontology, realism, recognition, epistemology, constructivism, facts, situations, internal/external, totality, relations, simulation.
B.Reality is an expression for the totality of what is opposed to the perception of subjects and not only imagined. In this sense, reality is what is independent of us; on the other hand, some authors regard their formability as proof of their existence. See also dependence, independence, possibility, necessity, actualism, realism, idealism, constructivism, present, simulation, aboutness, circularity, objects, things, order._____________Annotation: The above characterizations of concepts are neither definitions nor exhausting presentations of problems related to them. Instead, they are intended to give a short introduction to the contributions below. – Lexicon of Arguments. | |||

N. Luhmann on Reality - Dictionary of Arguments
Reese-Schäfer II 28 Real/Reality/Luhmann/Reese-Schäfer: redefined "actualized distinction. Real is what is practiced as a distinction, decomposed by it, is made visible and invisible through them: the world". - Which resolves the controversy between realism and constructivism. >Realism, >Constructivism, >Observation/Luhmann, >Distinction. Not sufficient: the reality of the operation - this is a blind spot for itself. Reese-Schäfer II 29 Blind spot: the distinction that was made for the purpose of observing, can not be perceived again. >Circle, >Blind spot. - - - AU Cass 14 Reality/Luhmann: So we have a fully observer-relative view, but this is mitigated by the fact that we say the system, which is observed also is observing itself._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
