Question Reality

White text on a purple background.

“Question reality” can mean to challenge or doubt what is considered to be true or real, or to question one’s perception of reality. It can refer to the exploration of how physics and philosophy have changed the perception of the nature of the universe, mind, and reality over time. 

Often, to question reality is to question sense-experiences or sense of reason. Rationalism and empiricism are two main schools of thought that pertain to the issue of understanding the nature and source of human knowledge and therefore relate to the question of reality. Rationalism emphasizes the role of reason in the acquirement of knowledge, while empiricism emphasizes the role of experience and evidence in that same process. Both philosophical movements have made great developments in the attempt to better understand the concepts of reality and existence by providing and exploring these different perspectives of how knowledge is acquired.
