are there any books that philisophicaly prove the existence of an external world???

Question

and proves that there is something that exists independently from our subjective views

if so what books??

Answer 1

I don't think anything can prove it, because I don't think that there is anything external to the mind.

This is more easily understandable if one considers the actual scale of the components of an atom. If one takes into account the fact that the neutrons, protons and electrons of an atom actually have huge spaces between them it becomes clear that the atoms that make up seemingly solid objects are made up of 99+ percent empty space.

This alone does not seem too important till you add the idea that the atoms that make up seemingly solid objects are more of a loose conglomeration that share a similar attraction but never really touch each other.

At first glance this does not really seem relevant, but closer analysis reveals that this adds a tremendous amount of empty space to solid objects that are already made up of atoms that are 99 percent space. When so-called solid objects are seen in this light it becomes apparent that they can in no way be the seemingly solid objects they appear to be.

We ourselves are not exceptions to this phenomenon.

These seemingly solid objects are more like ghostly images that we interpret as solid objects based on our perceptual conclusions.

From this we must conclude that Perception is some sort of a trick that helps us to take these ghostly images and turn them into a world we can associate and interact with. This clever device seems to be a creation of our intellect that enables us to interact with each other in what appears to be a three dimensional reality.

I hope that helps to answered your question.

Answer 2

Hmm... that's an interesting question. I suppose it would be impossible to prove something exists independently of our subjective views. After all, once you start thinking about something, you are being subjective.

Answer 3

Who stated God is proving his existence with the aid of a e book? The bible isn't something wanting historical letters and songs certain mutually. on a similar time as they are real, God definitely did no longer make it to coach his existence. somewhat it rather is a message for all people who prefer to pay attention it.... in case you afflicted to verify slightly extra approximately Christianity, somewhat than what you found out out of your Sunday college or grandparents you will study that there is an entire container of study obtainable created promptly in the direction of proving God and the bible. presently technological expertise and faith have been working mutually to returned up the belief of God. even nonetheless people who get all their suggestions from the media do no longer understand this via fact all they pay attention approximately is Stephan Hawking or some Creationism at college debate. they do no longer see the Ph.D astronomers interior the Vatican, or the Nuclear Physicist who gave a graduate pupil an interview approximately his motives for believing in a God. they do no longer study the historic documents the place Einstein, Isaac Newton, Galileo and others agreed to the perception in a sort of God. They sit down there and say genetics disproves God while the very father of genetics became a christian himself. All they see is what the media makes a decision for them to work out.... and that's what i think of is gullible.

Answer 4

The answer to your question is, no. Philosophy is based on human wisdom, which is derived from the senses and is inherently finite and limited - it always stops short of the Truth. Philosophy, in its arrogance and/or fear, puts a wall around the possibility of knowing the Truth, a Truth beyond our subjective views. Philosophy makes our mind a prison for us. It makes the possibility of knowing the Truth about the existence of an external world impossible.

Answer 5

You can DEFEND the existence of the external world and the normal understanding that exists between rational agents, language, presupposes it, but you can not PROVE it. Science does not prove things; perhaps philosophy does.

Answer 6

You can't prove anything because you cannot escape your own subjective lens of the world.
