PHI 350 - The Simulation Hypothesis


Instructor
Robb

Are we living in a computer simulation? How could we know? How much of what we value, if anything, would be lost if this simulation hypothesis were true? We look at these difficult questions, with the goal of clarifying important philosophical concepts such as reality, truth, knowledge, and value.

 

Satisfies the seminar requirement for the Philosophy major.
