Summary:
"
Virtual
reality
is genuine
reality
. That's the central thesis of '
Reality
+ :
virtual
worlds
and the
problems
of
philosophy
.' In a highly original work of 'technophilosophy,' David J. Chalmers argues that
virtual
worlds
generated by computers are not second-class
worlds
. We can live a meaningful life in
virtual
reality
. We may even be living in a computer simulation already -- and if we are, that's not so bad. What is
reality
, anyway? How do we know there's an external world? What's the relation between mind and body? How can we lead a good life? Is there a God? In the book, Chalmers conducts a grand tour of
philosophy
, using
virtual
worlds
to illuminate all of these questions and to provide new answers to many of them."
