Book Description: Grasping Reality addresses the methodology of a sophisticated realistic approach to scientific as well as everyday recognition by using schemes and interpretative constructs to analyze theories and the practice of recognition from a hypothesis realistic vantage point. The three main theses are: (1) Any 'grasping' of real objects, processes, entities etc. is deeply dependent on scheme interpretations and interpretative constructs in short, on using schemes and constructs; the same applies to any sophisticated actions encroaching on reality; (2) a sophisticated interpretation dependent realism is sketched out and defended from a methodological, non foundational, epistemological point of view called pragmatic realism; (3) the most provocative thesis is generalized from the role of the well known preparationist interpretation of quantum theory to everyday knowledge the interpretative structuring and preparing of the experimental make up as known in quantum mechanics is not just a special case but the rather general case of gaining any knowledge in science and everyday recognition. An appendix provides an overview regarding a realistic and pragmatic philosophy of technology, including the so called new information technologies.
