According to realism, anything that exists only in the mind or only so far as we perceive it, is a mere [BLANK-1], as opposed to a reality.

Philosophers such as Descartes regard the [BLANK-1] to be the thing that thinks, perceives, feels, imagines, remembers, believes, dreams, and so on.

The [BLANK-1] is the argument if mind and matter are fundamentally different substances, then one cannot affect the other, contrary to appearances.

Plato’s allegory of the cave illustrates the idea how we might mistake appearances for _______________, but also how _______________ may be hidden from us, and even why coming to know the _________________ can be painful, difficult process.  (*same term goes in all blanks*) [BLANK-1]

Descartes’s [BLANK-1] gives us reason to doubt our empirical knowledge, or knowledge based on sense experience, but it does not give us reason to doubt our a priori knowledge, or knowledge based only on reason. 

What is called “a priori knowledge” is knowledge that does NOT depend on sense experience for its [BLANK-1].
