    Reason against 1 of 2
    ?
    • 1.Transcendental phenomenology's bracketing of existence is a methodological stance, not an ontological verdict about mind-independent reality.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Husserl's epoché suspends claims about the world without entailing that such claims cannot be epistemically grounded by other philosophical methods.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Ingarden himself argued that the realism question can be posed and investigated ontologically, independent of the transcendental standpoint's limitations.

    Reason against 2 of 2
    ?
    • 1.Direct realist epistemologies, defended by Reid, Moore, and Pryor, ground knowledge of mind-independent objects in non-inferential perceptual warrant.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.If direct realism is coherent, then the claim that no epistemic standpoint can establish a mind-independent world is demonstrably false, not merely contested.

    Ingarden accepted that, as long as we approach the realism problem from the standpoint of epistemology, or from within the standpoint of transcendental phenomenology, there is no way out to establish the existence and knowledge of a mind-independent world.
