Virtual Worlds and the Problems of Philosophy
Book • 2022
In 'Reality+: Virtual Worlds and the Problems of Philosophy', David J. Chalmers conducts a comprehensive analysis of the intersection between virtual reality, philosophy, and science.
He argues that virtual worlds are not inferior to physical reality and that we can lead meaningful lives within them.
The book addresses various philosophical questions, such as the nature of reality, the relation between mind and body, and the possibility of being in a simulated world.
Chalmers uses virtual reality technology to offer new perspectives on long-standing philosophical issues, making the book a significant contribution to the fields of philosophy, science, and technology.
