"Naive realism leads to physics and physics, if true, shows that naive realism is false. Therefore, naive realism, if true, is false, therefore it is false." Who says this ?
Answer: B
The argument is Russell's.
Bertrand Russell gives it in An Inquiry into Meaning and Truth (1940): naive realism leads to physics, and physics, if true, shows that naive realism is false; therefore naive realism, if true, is false, and therefore it is false. It argues from science against the view that we perceive things as they are.
Moore defended common sense against such arguments, Wittgenstein's work does not contain it, and Bradley argued from contradictions in appearance, not from physics.
