Overview

The most fundamental question in philosophy: What is reality?Book 2 of the Consciousness & Reality Series.We assume reality is ""out there""-objective, independent, and waiting to be discovered. But quantum physics reveals a stranger truth: reality seems to depend on observation. Neuroscience shows us that perception is constructed, not received. Philosophy demonstrates that our most basic assumptions about existence may be illusions.The Nature of Reality: Philosophical and Scientific InvestigationsDallas W. Thompson's book REALITY: WHAT IS IT? takes readers on a deep journey through the nature of existence. This isn't abstract philosophy divorced from science-it's a rigorous investigation that integrates quantum physics, neuroscience, philosophy of mind, and metaphysics to explore what we mean when we say something is ""real.""What if reality is not what you think it is?What You'll Explore: The book begins by examining our everyday assumptions about reality, revealing how scientific discoveries have systematically undermined naive realism. Thompson guides readers through quantum mechanics' observer-dependent reality, neuroscience's constructed perception, and philosophy's analysis of existence and ontology. Each chapter builds toward a revolutionary conclusion: reality may be far stranger and more mind-dependent than we ever imagined.Readers discover how different philosophical traditions-from ancient Greek metaphysics to Buddhist emptiness to modern process philosophy-have grappled with the nature of reality. The book synthesizes these perspectives with cutting-edge science, offering a framework that honors both empirical rigor and philosophical depth. The implications reshape how we understand everything from physics to consciousness to the meaning of existence itself.Perfect for readers interested in: - Philosophy and metaphysics- Quantum physics and its philosophical implications- The nature of existence and reality- Ontology and philosophy of science- How science and philosophy intersect- Big questions about the nature of the universeThe Consciousness & Reality Series: Book 1: The UNIVERSAL MINDBook 2: Reality: What Is It? ← You are hereBook 3: The Observer-Reality NexusBook 4: The Quantum FrontierBook 5: Retrocausality in Quantum PhysicsQuestion everything.
