Externity

/ɛkˈstɜrnɪti/ noun

Definition

The state, quality, or condition of being external; the outside nature of something, or the realm of external things as distinct from inner experience.

Etymology

From external (Latin externus) + -ity (Latin suffix creating abstract nouns). Parallel to 'internity' though rarely used in modern English.

Kelly Says

Philosophers wrestling with the 'problem of externity' in medieval and modern epistemology asked: how do we know the external world is real and not just our imagination?—a question that became central to Descartes' philosophy.
