These would be real things meaning as opposed to imaginary or illusory.
Reality1: the sum total of all that is real.īy this is meant the total sum of all things that exist and are experienced no matter what or where they are.
Let’s start with what is perhaps the oldest and most important meaning of the word "reality." VIEW: Multiple Realities and Multiple Meanings In Philosophy this problem is known as equivocation. As with many words there is more than one meaning and to switch from one to another in a conversation or an argument is to invite problems. But when asked exactly what is meant by that claim there are different ideas. At first glance many will agree that there are multiple realities. Let's consider the idea of "multiple realities". Some but not all of the problem with the idea that thereĪre "multiple realities" may very well be a problem with language and the sloppiness with which people use it.
