Naïve realism is a philosophical concept that refers to the belief that the world is exactly as we perceive it through our senses. This perspective posits that our perceptions of reality are straightforward and that our sensory experiences directly correspond to the external world. In other words, naively realistic individuals would argue that if something appears a certain way to them—like a tree looking green, or a surface appearing smooth—then it is that way, independent of any observer's perspective or interpretation.
