Does reality exist?

Question

Please exclude anything to do with human understanding, perception, experience and particularly faith.

Answer 1

Absolutely. Before there was any human understanding, perception, experience, or faith, things existed.

Answer 2

Absolute reality does not exist.

For example, the color Blue may not exist, even though we humans think it exists because we see a certain spectra of light.

The only reason it exists for us is because we have physical equipment (ie. our senses) that are able to take in such relative realities such as colors, feelings, tastes etc. However, those things are only part of our reality, not Absolute reality.

Who would be the judge of what Absolute reality is?

It's impossible.

Answer 3

___This gets tiresome after a while.
___You're all using the same freaking language to communicate and respond to the question. Implicitly, you're accepting that little corner of reality.
___The claim that reality doesn't exist is a general claim, and as such it entails the existence of a higher-order "reality"; namely, a "reality" in which reality doesn't exist.
___You can't prove reality because proof is only absolute in empty, abstract domains (math, logic). As regards worldly things, the evidence of things' existence is given in PASSIVE events of cognition, in which your free ego is rendered incapable of arbirtary mental acts, in the relevant respects. Arbitrary mental acts, of the sort that can be doubted, can only be conducted by an ego capable of freedom. Doubt is a free act of mind. Think about it. An unfree sentient being is simply affected by sensation, and can neither attach meaning to sense-data nor doubt it, as an adaptive meat machine. Doubting is as arbitrary as credulity.
___A true skeptic doesn't even know whether he knows that nothing is knowable, and appropriately keeps his mouth shut.

Answer 4

Yes.. For example when i was 16 in the year of 1999. I lost my best friend ,both of my grandmas that year,close friend of the family and my mom had breast cancer that year.. I finally got out the cloud i was in and realized I will see my best friend again and same with my grad mas too..I didn't want think they were gone at the time but now i realize they are probably happy and not suffering any so..Reality hit when i found peace with it.. it took 4 years later but it did.. Now i don't think about them hardly ..i just have my memories.. I realized after 1999 my mom had second chance at life and she is now cancer free.. i hope this makes sense..

Answer 5

without addmiting that experiance is coloured by perception and understanding you will never sufficiently answer this question.
like crowley said "the only reality is that which compels us to connect the various forms of illusion as we do"

Answer 6

Yes, but each person has a different reality based on life experiences and outside influences. Sorry, but that it how it is.

Answer 7

without including those things you can not gain a more philosophical answer, but the easiest and best answer is
yes, because if reality didn't exist, then we couldn't be real, and if we weren't real, then we couldn't have this conversation, so we must be real, and therefore in the universe of reality.

Answer 8
