A leading philosopher takes a mind-bending journey
through virtual worlds, illuminating the nature of reality and our place
within it. 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.
