Beschreibung
Virtual reality is genuine reality; that's the central thesis of Reality. In a highly original work of "technophilosophy," David J. Chalmers gives a compelling analysis of our technological future. He argues that virtual worlds are not second-class worlds, and that we can live a meaningful life in virtual reality. We may even be in a virtual world already. Along the way, Chalmers conducts a grand tour of big ideas in philosophy and science. He uses virtual reality technology to offer a new perspective on long-established philosophical questions. How do we know that there's an external world. Is there a god. What is the nature of reality. What's the relation between mind and body. How can we lead a good life. All of these questions are illuminated or transformed by Chalmers' mind-bending analysis. Studded with illustrations that bring philosophical issues to life, Reality. is a major statement that will shape discussion of philosophy, science, and technology for years to come.
