do you beleive that object and other people exist independently from yourself??

Question

so in other words do you beleive that life is realy real and that everything in it including other people are real too.

also are there any philisophical theories other than cartesian skepticism and solipsism that denies such an existence?

Answer 1

I believe that it's completely irrelevant if other things or people are real. I must live according to my own happiness regardless of other people, real or imagined.

Answer 2

I cannot affirm or deny the reality or 'non-reality' of the seemingly outside world. There is simply no evidence to do so. However, I do like to invoke Occum's Razor in such a case - where the simplest and most apparent solution is usually the right one. Thus I hesistantly claim that life is 'really real' and all external things are as well.

If you reach George Berkeley and David Hume, you will find their theories concerning the external world, metaphysics, and epistemology to me quite interesting.

By the way, Catersian skepticism is like the Math 101 of rationalism.

Answer 3

We all exist as a part of the unified field.

The physical reality is more of a thought form than a reality.

This is more easily understandable if one considers the actual scale of the components of an atom. If one takes into account the fact that the neutrons, protons and electrons of an atom actually have huge spaces between them it becomes clear that the atoms that make up seemingly solid objects are made up of 99+ percent empty space.

This alone does not seem too important till you add the idea that the atoms that make up seemingly solid objects are more of a loose conglomeration that share a similar attraction but never really touch each other.

At first glance this does not really seem relevant, but closer analysis reveals that this adds a tremendous amount of empty space to solid objects that are already made up of atoms that are 99 percent space. When so-called solid objects are seen in this light it becomes apparent that they can in no way be the seemingly solid objects they appear to be.

We ourselves are not exceptions to this phenomenon.

These seemingly solid objects are more like ghostly images that we interpret as solid objects based on our perceptual conclusions.

From this we must conclude that Perception is some sort of a trick that helps us to take these ghostly images and turn them into a world we can associate and interact with. This clever device seems to be a creation of our intellect that enables us to interact with each other in what appears to be a three dimensional reality.

I hope that helps to answered your question.
