Reality is an Absolute

For rebuttals I will quote in bold as Pro did."The argument at hand is whether or not reality is objective, independent and an absolute. Our perceptions are based off of reality, to perceive something would require that it exists to perceive it." Our perceptions are subjective. We assume that they are based off of some absolute reality, but we have no method to determine whether or not they are. Can you design a test that will prove that you aren't just a dream of a sleeping butterfly? It's impossible to prove. Since our perceptions are subjective, all of our knowledge about everything is based off of subjectivity. It follows that any knowledge derived from subjectivity can't be used as evidence of objective truth. Therefore, any arguments about reality being absolute are inherently flawed, being arguments based off of subjective perceptions.There is no test that can be designed to show that I see the same thing as Pro if we look at the same object."I was not stating that our perceptions are objective, but reality is."I would ask Pro to provide evidence that reality is objective. Stating so is not evidence in and of itself. I propose that all knowledge about 'reality' is based off of subjective perception, and cannot be used to define an objective truth. "You cannot prove reality because to prove reality would require the use of reality and logic, (which is also based on reality)"Pro's assertion is based on circular logic, being that proving reality requires reality, which is based on reality. This is a perfect argument as to why reality isn't absolute. We can only define what we call reality with words that we base off of what we perceive to be reality. " It is not reality that is defined, it is their perception that is defined." There is no other concept for reality than the concept we have, which is based off of our perceptions. This is why I assert that reality isn't absolute, but is unique for each individual and based off of perceptions. "This is stating that because man does not perceive an objective reality, there must not be one."Pro misstates my position. My position is that because we cannot prove an objective reality, then there is no evidence for reality being absolute. However, we do have evidence for reality being subjective, and I have presented several arguments to that effect."Man perceives an objective reality..."Pro continues to state that we perceive an objective reality, without actually providing arguments as to why reality is objective. "Man's goal should be to view reality as objectively as he physically can by using reason to form ideas."Pro wants us to view reality as objectively as possible, based on reason. Reason is based on subjective information, so an objective observation of the universe can't be based on a subjective foundation.Pro continues to state that we perceive an objective reality, without showing what makes reality objective. I simply showed that all words are subjective as well. The word 'cat' is based off what we perceive to be a cat, but that perception is unique, individual, and subjective in and of itself.Nothing that any human thinks is ever objective. By definition, it is processed through personal processes and as such is subjective.'Existence exists' is something Pro would state as an axiom, but since the argument is about reality and existence, the existence of an objective reality can't be taken for granted.
