Enjoyed this. Reminded me of discovering the idea of “critical realism” as welcome way forward from having appreciated the correction from certainty that a postmodern view has brought, but finding that too detached from the experience of living and think without an answer to the charge and intuition that it might all be too relativistic and ultimately reduce to solipsism. Seems like a wise middle way to accept the existence of an external reality, whilst remaining humble about our access to certain knowledge of it.
