The paper discusses some forms of realism that, in Italy, have been put forwardagainst the post-modernist idea that there are no facts, but only interpretations.The paper tries to show that these versions of an alleged «New Realism» are seriouslydeficient. From a historical point of view, they are frequently based on aninadequate understanding of the difference between ontology and epistemology,and of Kant's thought. From a theoretical point of view, they overlook the basicdistinction between experience and reality, and essential problems such as theempirical under-determination of theories and the theoretical over-determinationof experience. In short, they seem to be lacking in all those aspects of the realism/antirealism contraposition which are bound to epistemology and philosophy ofscience.
