Abstract
This chapter introduces the thesis of naive realism, which claims that the conscious aspects of our experiences are shaped by the external world. It clarifies the terminology of phenomenal character and explains how naive realism has a particular view of the phenomenal character of our experiences. It then considers various extant motivations for naive realism, including phenomenological motivations, John McDowell's claim that it can help to undermine skepticism, and motivations that concern our knowledge of demonstrative reference and the possibility of representational content.
