The aim of this paper is to engage in a debate on the conflict between realism and constructivism that occurred between Jaroslav Peregrin and Tomáš Marvan, on the pages of journal Filosofie dnes. The discussion developed as a reaction to Marvanʼs book Realismus a relativismus. In his book, Marvan defends specific kind of realism, criticizing relativistic positions. Peregrin claims that this conflict cannot be resolved, because in the end, both sides are irrefutable and arguments for and against leads to deadlock. On the other hand, Marvan claims that conflict can be resolved in favour of realism. Presented paper defines itself against both claims and proposes solution for the conflict. The solution is to dissolve the conflict using a hybrid concept that can overcome the problems of realism and constructivism. The paper is divided to three main parts. The first part deals with Marvan´s realism. The source of the conflict is main topic of second part and last part deals with the concept that can overcome the conflict.
