5. Give a brief account of realism as a theory of the nature of object of knowledge?

Ans : External objects are outside and independent of mind. Knowledge is an exact copy of representation of the extra-mental objects. Realism is the theory, which recognizes the reality of the external world independent of minds. John, Holt, Perry, Alexander, Russell etc. are the supporters of realism. For them, the object of knowledge never depends for its existence on knowledge. Knowledge is not the criteria to determine the existence of an object. If the object of knowledge has no independent existence, then no knowledge is possible. Knowledge is determined by its objects. So, everything has extra mental independent existence.
