Immanuel Kant's 'Transcendental Proof of Realism' isn't a direct argument for a mind-independent external world in the naive sense. Instead, central to his Transcendental Idealism and articulated primarily in his Critique of Pure Reason, Kant argues for an Empirical Realism. He posits that the very possibility of coherent inner experience and self-awareness necessitates the existence of outer objects in space and time, thereby grounding the philosophy of reality within the structure of our understanding. This complex position refutes dogmatic idealism while affirming the reality of the world as we experience it.
