External reality
From Geography
External reality can be defined as the reality experienced through our senses (scenario architecture, n.d.). This includes seeing, hearing, smelling and touching. Since every human can experience the same things, the external reality is also the same for the most people. People generally agree on the way something looks, tastes or smells, since they commonly perceive the same things. Only the way they interpret this in their mind is different, this is called internal reality.
Ties with Humanism
The common ground touched with humanism is human experience. To summarize, human experience the world with the help of their senses, this is their so called external experience. Humanism concludes that the world is made up of all these individual experiences. So for all purposes the external reality is created by the experiences of different humans (cloke, 1991). With the help of all created intellectual materials.
