Does the Issue of Response-Dependence Have any Consequences for Realism?

Croatian Journal of Philosophy 6 (1):27-39 (2006)
Abstract Recently Michael Devitt [2006] has argued for how adopting a position he calls ‘worldmaking’ is dangerous to a realist position. He further suggests that response-dependence under the form ‘global response-dependence’ is aversion of ‘worldmaking’. The aim of this paper is to identify what this supposed danger may be if any and to suggest one possible direction argumentation may take to decide the supposed debate between realists and world makers
