Abstract

The article delves into the rise of American neorealism in early twentieth-century philosophy, examining the perspectives of Perry, Montague, and Holt. Neorealism challenges idealist views by emphasizing the relational nature of consciousness and rejecting the concept of an independent mind. Despite facing challenges in explaining perceptual errors, neorealism's discussions on consciousness laid the groundwork for further philosophical debates. The text also critiques neorealism's limitations in addressing errors, leading to the emergence of Critical Realism, while noting a recent resurgence of interest in neorealism in contemporary philosophy of mind discussions.
