Naïve Realism: the assumption that we see the world as it actually is, and that our impression is an objective, accurate representation of reality.

WHAT SCIENTIFIC TERM OR CONCEPT OUGHT TO BE MORE WIDELY KNOWN?

“The comedian George Carlin once noted “that anyone driving slower than you is an idiot and anyone going faster than you is a maniac.” The obscure scientific term explaining why we see most people other than ourselves as unintelligent or crazy is naïve realism.”

Vælgererklæringer til Stram Kurs – Kampagnefoto 6: Det danske antiterrorkorps

Den danske mentalitet er stadig i stort omfang rodfæstet i den absurde tanke, at alle mennesker i verden er som os: så bare vi giver dem roser, så elsker de os. Hvad skal man så sige om den tanke? Tanken er idiotisk, fordi den bygger på en barnlig misforståelse af menneskelig natur.Mennesker reagerer ikke ens på anerkendelse.Kultur former psykologi.Historie former moral.Magtforhold former…

In psychology, the false-consensus effect or false-consensus bias is an attributional type of cognitive bias whereby people tend to overestimate the extent to which their opinions, beliefs, preferences, values, and habits are normal and typical of those of others (i.e., that others also think the same way that they do).[1] This cognitive bias tends to lead to the perception of a consensus that does not exist, a "false consensus".

The State of the Trumpet Address

I’ve always being blessed and/or cursed with a desire to do things in the simplest way. In my life there have been a number of things that I may have become obsessed with shifting people’s opinions about. Usually it’s just because I think there is an easier way of doing things but for many people the idea of change is a bigger hurdle than the change itself would be. So maybe it could be said that…

The naïve realist theory may be characterized as the acceptance of the following five beliefs:

There exists a world of material objects.

Some statements about these objects can be known to be true through sense-experience.

These objects are also able to retain properties of the types we perceive them as having, even when they are not being perceived. Their properties are perception-independent.

By means of our senses, we perceive the world directly, and pretty much as it is. In the main, our claims to have knowledge of it are justified."

Naïve realism

Naïve realism, also known as direct realism or common sense realism, is a philosophy of mind rooted in a theory of perception that claims that the senses provide us with direct awareness of the external world. In contrast, some forms of idealism assert that no world exists apart from mind-dependent ideas and some forms of skepticism say we cannot trust our senses. The realist view is that objects are composed of matter, occupy space and have properties, such as size, shape, texture, smell, taste and colour, that are usually perceived correctly. We perceive them as they really are. Objects obey the laws of physics and retain all their properties whether or not there is anyone to observe them.

Naïve realism is known as direct as against indirect or representative realism when its arguments are developed to counter the latter position, also known as epistemological dualism; that our conscious experience is not of the real world but of an internal representation of the world.
