A Starting Point

Devitt does a wonderful job in separating the Metaphysical and epistemological issues in the Realism/Anti-Realism debate. After reading Realism and Truth it is possible to see how so many people are sympathetic to Anti-Realism. It makes an excellent starting point for getting into the Anti-Realism literature.
