- W2329352671 abstract "The side of contemporary anti-realism most discussed by its critics consists of claims about truth: Truth is an epistemic or pragmatic concept, so it is said. But there is another side-more fundamental, I am inclined to think. This other side makes claims about concepts. Concepts, says the anti-realist, are instruments whereby we cut up the world into objects and kinds of objects. Apart from such cuts there are no objects nor kinds. Indeed, there is no world in any useful sense of the term. We make our world-or worlds. It doesn't come readymade. In this paper I want to consider why the anti-realist thinks it apt and appropriate to speak of us and our concepts in this Promethean way. My goal is to both interpret and appraise: what does he mean, why does he say it, and are the reasons adequate. The anti-realist is of course speaking in metaphor. If we took him to be speaking literally, what he says would be wildly false-so much so that we would question his sanity. We cut pies into pieces; we don't cut the world into objects. We make our houses; we don't make trilobites. Saws are tools; concepts are not.1 I suggest that we allow the anti-realist these metaphors. We should not insist that he speak literally before we take him seriously; nor, a bit more generously, that he confine his metaphors to 'harmless' decoration. Neither should we ourselves try to translate his metaphors into literal speech and appraise the acceptability of what he says" @default.
