Answer to Question #307052 in Philosophy for Soma

Question

How do you know whether something real or not? Words limit 150-200

Answer 1

Philosophers have long wrestled with the question of whether or how it is possible to really know external reality. We know something is real if it is in accordance with measurable reality. Many philosophers would assert that something is real if it has actual existence and substance. Unlike truth, something that is real does not have to be proven.
