À propos de cet audio
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.
Reality+ is a major statement that will shape discussion of philosophy, science, and technology for years to come.

Good read, even for those with casual interest
I was a little apprehensive when picking this up as I’m not an academic and I feared this may turn into a text book. However, I found Reality+ to be a thought-provoking and engaging read that only challenged my understanding of reality and virtual worlds. David Chalmers presents a compelling argument for the reality of virtual worlds, weaving together philosophy, cognitive science, and emerging technologies in mostly an easy to understand way. The book occasionally drifts into dense philosophical discussions (lost me in the its and bits for a while) but it remains a fascinating exploration of a complex and rapidly evolving subject. Highly recommended for anyone interested in the nature of reality and the implications of virtual worlds.
