Reality+: Virtual Worlds and the Problems of Philosophy
Author: David J. ChalmersPublisher: W. W. Norton & Company
ISBN: 0393635813
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 544
Book Description
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.

Book Description
Excerpt from Chalmers Comes Back He knew only vaguely who he was. His name-e yes, he could remember that. It was John Chalmers. He tried at times to connote the associations of the name, but was too tired to pursue the quest very far. There were brief ashes Of recollection, which were like pictures Of scenery, disclosed suddenly by light ning. He saw at times a city, metropolitan, many towered, rising from the sea, starred with a million lights. Gracious and benignant figures walked on the terraces that fringed the sea; lighted vehicles moved through the streets, bells rang, voices clamoured joyously, an immeasurable life swayed and eddied, an infinite stir and movement shook the air. He knew that he had once had a part with these multitudes, but before he could comprehend what that part was the Whole vision sank into the sea, and the lighted towers Went out like fallen rockets.
