In Spinoza and the Philosophy of Divine Reality, Clayton Louis Turnage explores the life, thought, and enduring scandal of the philosopher who erased the wall between creator and creation—and changed metaphysics forever. Cast out by his own religious community, denounced as an atheist, ...

Virtual reality is genuine reality; that’s the central thesis of Reality+. In a highly original work of “technophilosophy,” David J. Chalmers gives a compelling analysis of our technological future.

Challenging leading scientific theories that claim that our senses report back objective reality, cognitive scientist Donald Hoffman argues that while we should take our perceptions seriously, we should not take them literally. How can it be possible that the world we see is not objective reality? And how can our senses be useful if they are not communicating the truth? Hoffman grapples with these questions and more over the course of this eye-opening work.
