Introduction to Plato's philosophy

PRESENTATION OUTLINE

What is Reality?

“What is real? How do you define 'real'? If you're talking about what you can feel, what you can smell, what you can taste and see, then 'real' is simply electrical signals interpreted by your brain"

Reality: in standard philosophical usage, how things actually are, in contrast with their mere appearance. Appearance has to do with how things seem to a particular perceiver or group of perceivers. Reality is sometimes said to be two-way-independent of appearance. This means that appearance does not determine reality.
