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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlong 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStudded with illustrations that bring philosophical issues to life, \u003cem\u003eReality+\u003c\/em\u003e is a major statement that will shape discussion of philosophy, science, and technology for years to come.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 544\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.2 x 8.1 x 5.4 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e February 07, 2023\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42731843354687,"sku":"9781324050346","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0105\/8226\/1823\/files\/016f1efcb278e86b2e457b3e7b17cdf5.webp?v=1765130329","url":"https:\/\/dhl-adrianne.myshopify.com\/products\/reality-virtual-worlds-and-the-problems-of-philosophy-paperback","provider":"BBB","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
