All Philosophies are Reducible to ‘p-Realism’ vs anti-p-realism [Idealism]
viewtopic.php?f=5&t=28643
The above dichotomy between p-realism vs anti-p-realism emerged since the origin of philosophy.
P-realism [mind-independent] arising from the sense of external_ness is an evolutionary default, thus very primordial.
Those who hold such position are people like FDP, PH et. al.
Since it is an evolution default, p-realism are adopted and clung to by the majority as an ideology to soothe the pains of the underlying existential crisis.
One major group of p-realists are the theists who believe in an absolutely mind-independent God.
Whilst p-realism has its pros but is not tenable and realistic for more refine philosophy and for greater progress within humanity.
As such, there are those who are more philosophical matured who had opposed p-realism, the so called antirealists in general. Since the beginning the antirealists are the minority but their % has been on a growing trend.
Because of the severe threats of existential pains, the p-realists are always blind to the views of the antirealists. On the other hand, the antirealists [Kantian] do understand the beliefs of the p-realists such that they can oppose [anti] their views.
Every time I counter the p-realists' views they will complain I did not understand their points, but actually it is the p-realists who are very resistant to the views of the antirealists.
Take the case of the theists, they are simply blind to the views of the non-theists who counter their belief.
This realist vs antirealist chasm or dichotomy is more deeper than the theory of mind.
I have no problem understanding realists has a different beliefs from mine, thus my opposition to their beliefs.In psychology, theory of mind refers to the capacity to understand other people by ascribing mental states to them. A theory of mind includes the knowledge that others' beliefs, desires, intentions, emotions, and thoughts may be different from one's own.

On the other hand, people like FDP et. al. do have a problematic theory of mind, in insisting their beliefs are the only true one.
When they read opponents do not match their views, they make all sorts of complains including wrongly accusing them of not having a 'theory of mind' when they are the culprit who do not have a theory of mind.
