Metaphysics

Post by Tater Tazz »

Metaphysics is a systematic attempt to anwser the question: What is reality? The ancient greek philosophers were very interested in this question and advanced a number of theories to try to answer it.

Some philosophers have thought that reality is essentially material in nature. Others have claimed that reality is essentially mental or spiritual. For those who believe the common sense view that both mind and matter are basic kinds of stuff comprising reality, what is the connection between them? Do they interact, and if so, how? Or is the mind really the as the brain? Can machines (computers) be conscious? Is there life after death?:D
