Description
Hardcover philosophy book by Markus Gabriel, published in 2024. Markus Gabriel challenges traditional views on reality and fiction, arguing that the realm of the illusory is just as real as we think. He proposes that human consciousness emerges through fictions, which shape our understanding of ourselves and the world around us. This approach offers a fresh perspective on what it means to be human and how society functions. Gabriel's philosophy also explores the concept of social reality, suggesting that our understanding of the world is constantly being renegotiated through different perspectives and points of view. He argues that truth and reality are not outdated concepts, but rather need to be redefined to encompass our complex and multifaceted nature as human beings. This book will be of interest to scholars and students in the humanities, as well as anyone interested in contemporary philosophy and social thought.
