'What is real?' has been one of the key questions of philosophy
since its beginning in antiquity. It is a question that, due to
such films as The Matrix, has also made its way into popular
culture. But it is not just a question philosophers ask. It is also
asked by scientists when they investigate whether the fundamental
constituents of matter are actually 'out there' or just a mere
abstraction from a successful theory. Cognitive scientists ask it
when trying to find out which set of the bewildering array of data
processed by our brain could constitute the basis for such
supposedly fundamental entities like the free agent or the self.
This Very Short Introduction discusses what reality is by looking
at a variety of arguments, theories and thought-experiments from
philosophy, physics, and cognitive science. ABOUT THE SERIES: The
Very Short Introductions series from Oxford University Press
contains hundreds of titles in almost every subject area. These
pocket-sized books are the perfect way to get ahead in a new
subject quickly. Our expert authors combine facts, analysis,
perspective, new ideas, and enthusiasm to make interesting and
challenging topics highly readable.
