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 theres an external world? Is there a god? What is the nature of reality? Whats 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. 56 illustrations\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51972354736416,"sku":"NEW1324050349","price":21.82,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/reality-virtual-worlds-and-the-problems-of-philosophy-1324050349","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
