| 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.

Friedrich Nietzsche on Reality - Dictionary of Arguments
Danto III 96 Reality/Nietzsche/Danto: Nietzsche repeatedly emphasizes that everything is wrong. By this he means that there is no order in the world that could correspond to things; there is nothing that - as the theory of correspondence suggests - statements could refer to in a certain way to be true. Danto III 98 Perspective/Nietzsche: since there is no reality, there is no correct perspective or geometry on how the world should be depicted. (F. Nietzsche: Nachlass, Berlin, 1999, p. 705). For Nietzsche, there are only competing interpretations. Cf. >Philosophy of Interpretation, >Perspective/Nietzsche. Danto III 185 Reality/Nietzsche/Danto: Nothing else is 'given' as real but our world of desires and passions. We cannot go down or up to any other 'reality' than the reality of our instincts.(1) >World/Nietzsche, >Drive/Nietzsche. 1. F. Nietzsche Jenseits von Gut und Böse, KGW VI.2, S. 50._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
