The theory of knowledge studies questions about the types of reality, methods and boundaries of knowledge. The perception of reality in people occurs through their lifestyle, experience, education, social circle and, of course, through their ideals and values. All this creates an individual beauty of life.
Types of reality
Reality is something obvious, real. Modern philosophy recognizes three types of reality: physical (natural), social and virtual. All of these realities have their own significance at a certain historical moment.
Physical reality
Physical reality in human consciousness has always been a part of the objective world. She has always been the source of his existence and vital activity for man. With regard to nature, man has reserved a special place for himself. In the historical process, he gradually passed from adaptation to nature to its possession. The result to date: man is the king of nature!
Social reality
Social reality is an organized and structured reality. Philosophers have always had disagreements about the significance of this reality. There are teachings that fully recognize the importance of the principle of organization and insist on a society where the principle of organization is tightened to the principle of integrity and consistency.
Some teachings say that organization is situational and absolute for a given society. And already at the end of the 20th century, statements were popular that social reality has no integrity, it is chaotic and not ordered, and there can be no talk of any kind of organization.
A virtual reality
Virtual reality is a kind of know-how in the field of philosophy. Virtuality is an imaginary part of reality. This is an electronic reality. The world of virtuality is created by the latest technical means and is perceived by a person through his usual receptors - smell, hearing, sight and others. There is usually a real response to user actions.
Virtual reality is defined by a set of objects, the existence of which is real, but they are considered separately from reality. Virtual objects do not exist as objects of the real world, they are more actual, but not potential.
There are also concepts: actual reality - what is now; potential - what can be; absolute (objective) - the surrounding reality that exists independently of perception; relative (subjective) - a part of reality, reflected by human consciousness. Here we have to agree that everyone has the right to their reality.
