Philosophical realism has taken a number of different forms, each
applied to different topics and set against different forms of
idealism and subjectivism. Maurizio Ferraris's Manifesto of New
Realism takes aim at postmodernism and hermeneutics, arguing against
their emphasis on reality as constructed and interpreted. While
acknowledging the value of these criticisms of traditional, dogmatic
realism, Ferraris insists that the insights of postmodernism have
reached a dead end. Calling for the discipline to turn its focus back
to truth and the external world, Ferraris's manifesto—which sparked
lively debate in Italy and beyond—offers a wiser realism with social
and political relevance.
