Document Summary

Ontology has to do with what exists in the world, what matters or what is the case . Epistemology has to do with how we know what we know, and how sure we can be. Explains how we can be sure and how we know at the end of the day we think our claims about science and truth can be found and how we would explain those reasons. If the state exists and it exists in a certain sense, how do we know that anarchy could never be escaped: realism anarchy is the way it is. Challenges in oncological claims, with epistemology: realists human nature, classical realism s ontological claim, neo-realists and said that although we agree with your conclusions, you cannot prove human nature. Can t prove the ontological claim, can t prove what human nature is really like. Focus on role of the state system and importance of anarchy.
