'Water is H2O' and the Zygote
Posted: Sat Sep 21, 2024 11:06 am
1. My principle of reality is;
whatever is fact, reality, truth, knowledge is contingent upon a specific human-based collective of subjects framework and system of emergence, realization and cognition of reality.
2. When an adult learned that 'water is H20' only via the science-chemistry FSERC, that adult as a zygote then had already interacted "that" which emerged and is realized as real then subsequently realized and cognized as 'water is H20'.
This a priori experience is even traceable when his ancestors were one-celled organisms.
3. That which is 'water is H20' also emerged from the forces of the Big Bang when particles interact to form the molecules of H and O and subsequently H2O.
Is 13.7b of physical & 3.5b years of organic history Relevant?

4. But 1, 2 and 3 are only possible with the existing self-awareness, consciousness and intelligence of humans.
5. As such, 'that' which is 'water as H20' did not exists absolutely independent of humans. So, whatever is fact, reality, truth, knowledge is contingent upon a specific human-based collective of subjects framework and system of emergence, realization and cognition of reality.
The above [1-5] is the philosophical antirealists [Kantian] view who reject and oppose the philosophical realists' view that,
"a fact is a feature of reality that is the case, state of affairs, just is which is absolutely independent of the human conditions, opinions, beliefs and judgments, i.e. that fact exists regardless of whether there are humans or not."
Point 1-5 demonstrate the philosophical realists' claim is not tenable and not realistic.
Can any philosophical realist prove their claim with valid arguments?
