Naïve realism


Naïve realism also known as Direct Realism or common sense realism, is a common sense theory of perception.

"Naïve realism claims that the world is pretty much as common sense would have it. All objects composed of matter, they occupy space, and have properties such as size, shape, texture, smell, taste and colour. These properties are usually perceived . So, when we look at and touch things we see and feel those things directly, and so perceive them as they really are. Objects continue to obey the laws of physics and retain all their properties whether or not there is anyone present to observe them doing so."
