"belief & truth. Critical realism to NT Wright. Part 2" As epistemological counter-movement to the more positivist view leads Wright to the phenomenological view, which he himself interprets this: "things from the (seemingly) external world is facing are my own sensations. This view translates to a putative epistemological humility talk of external objects ("This is a cup") into statements about sense impressions ("I am hard, round, smooth and warm feelings in my Hands of true ")." (Page 61) This shows that the perception from a phenomenological perspective linear from the observer to the object passes, the apparent evidence, however, confirm my own perceptions, and the observer, only his is self-confident. Wright points to different forms of both positions, and then proposes an alternative model as a form prior to the critical realism. Critical realism to NT Wright (he goes by Ben Meyers book "Critical Realism and the New Testament" from) describes the "cognitive process, acknowledging the reality of the object to be recognized as distinct from the knower (hence" realism "), recognized during the same time completely, that the only access we have to this reality, along the spiral path of an appropriate dialogue or conversation between the knower and the object is to be recognized (hence "critical"). (62) This understanding Wright outlined the following graphic:
observers ------------------------------------ --------------------------> object

but the challenge there
and speak truth from reality.
This means that we as humans have no direct "God's standpoint," but all interpreted by a grid of expectations, memories, stories, psychological states, etc., as it were, through a "lens of our worldview.
