RE: That is not philosophy! On the battle about what is real

in #philosophy7 years ago

Haha I think you're very brave going on stage there and telling all those hardcore scientists reality isn't real!

Also isn't this very circulair in the sense that you first have to define reality in order to know at all so all your understanding of it depends on this moment prior to all thinking

Sort:  

Thanks. Academic suicide is also a name for it. I prefer to call it bravery, thanks!
And yes. circularity is a problem. but the larger problem is not realising the fact that those who proclaim the existence of 'objective reality' are as circular as those who admit to it upfront.

@roydestory Not all hardcore scientists believe in the reality that we know of today, or maybe what most people consider as one. Even today, some scientists still have difficulty defining what “reality” really is.
