REALITY+ - DAVID J CHALMERS GEBUNDEN

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.
