Another fun little setup. Cat subjectivism, and cat realism.
A man walks up and claims to have a cat. Is he expressing a state of belief? Do we think that this person believes the statement "I have a cat" is true?
The cat subjectivist and cat realist think that he is, and does..and I think that most of us would agree.
Do we live in a world where, sometimes, our beliefs are true? The cat subjectivist and the cat realist both think so. I think that most of us would agree.
Are those true beliefs, cat facts, constituted of mind independent variables?
The cat subjectivist says no. The cat is a mind dependent. It is produced by our minds and exists only in our minds. This is a cat fact. All cat facts are true beliefs about minds that see cats.
The cat realist says yes. The cat is mind independent. It is not produced by our minds, and does not exist within our minds. This is a cat fact. All cat facts are true beliefs about cats that exist apart from our perception of them.
