How real is reality? Are our images of the world mere inventions or do they correspond to an external reality? Is it possible to know the truth?
These are some of the questions that are discussed in this book by physicist and philosopher Heinz von Foerster and media studies scholar Bernhard Poerksen. Together they explore the limits of our cognitive capacities; they debate the apparent objectivity of our sensual perception and the consequences of “truth terrorism”; and they talk about the relationship between knowledge and ethics, sight and insight.
