Does the real world, defined as a world of objects that exist independent of human interests, concerns, and cognitive activities, actually exist? Jan Westerhoff argues that we have good reason to believe it does not. He draws on the philosophy of Madhyamaka Buddhism, but defends his stance in a Western philosophical framework.
