Abstract
Wе recall the distinction between appearance and reality, that there are different kinds of reality which we should not confuse, and make а distinction between the world and reality. Against internalism, we argue that the inside is outside. We also argue that artificial intelligence cannot surpass human intelli gence. We refer to some contemporary philosophers, the "new realists", often criticizing them for not being true realists, and call for а contextual realism.
