Exploring Reality - Hardcover

This stimulating and innovative text explores the central question 'what is reality?'. It provides a rare opportunity for representatives of widely-differing disciplines to examine and compare their concept of reality within the perspectives of literature, sociology, biology, art, physics, film, philosophy and theology. The book is designed for foundation courses in colleges and universities as well as for general studies in schools and adult education courses. Guides to further reading for each chapter are provided and an 'inconclusion' opens up a discussion between contributors on the nature of reality. It points to further questions which arise and suggests ways in which the reader can use these approaches to explore further the concept of reality in many other disciplines.
