Assignment:

Is there a mind-independent reality? How do you know? What is your take on this question? As you make your argument for either scientific realism (reality is mind-independent) or anti-realism (reality is mind-dependent) , be sure not to confuse what is objectively real with our subjective impression of it. Also, be sure not to conflate ontology (the study of reality) and epistemology ( the study of what we can know about reality).
