Is there a real table at all? If so, what sort of object can it be?

I believe that there is such thing as a real table, or real anything for that matter. We all see the table; we just seem to see it differently. No two people will perceive the table the same way. This causes people to then question if the table is even real. Since not everyone will see the table the same, we can't just go off of what everyone else thinks. We have to be able to have our own perception on the table. If we all start believing that the table is not real, then we all have the same perception on the table, even though we can't all have the same perception about it.

The table is just a table. It isn't another object. It is just the object it says it is. Tables can come in all different styles, which will then change the object. But it is still a table.

  1. So our perception of reality is based on variations? Meaning that if you and I view a table differently but still conclude it is a table, then it is. If it is drastically different and we can't agree, then it is not and our view of reality changes. Interesting!
