Reality is what doesn't go away when you stop believing in it.

-- Sci-fi author (and, evidently, philosopher) Philip K. Dick, replying to the question asked by the title of this node.

If a tree falls in a forest, and nobody's around, does it make a sound?	When discussing philosophy, please don't mention The Matrix	The social construction of reality	The Matrix
solipsism	Put that in your pipe and smoke it	A long walk off the short pier of reality	reality
This is the reality: It's the rest of my life that's the dream	More than dream?	Looking at plums to quench one's thirst	Reality bubble
Helping a loved one with depression	Can God lie?	Supporting Evidence and Faith	reality deconstruction
sci-fi	The Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldritch	Apeiron	Three Refuges
That which does not kill me, makes me stronger
