A unique fusion of philosophy and metaphysics set against the backdrop
of contemporary culture. Have you ever wondered if the world is really
there when you're not looking? We tend to take the reality of our world
very much for granted. This book will lead you down the rabbit hole in
search of something we can point to, hang our hats on, and say this is
real.
Along the way Jim Baggott presents the important arguments concerning
the nature reality as examined by the world's greatest thinkers from the
philosophers of ancient Greece to modern scientists and social theorists
and takes on materialism, perception, and progress in a refreshingly new
and entertaining way.
