The philosophical implications of developments in modern science, especially particle physics, Big Bang cosmology, and, most importantly, cognitive science, as in the idea of the mind as a special class of information processes in the central nervous system, and as in viewing philosophical problems as computational problems in the brain. Computers in general and virtual reality in particular. Philosophy of science, as in the nature of scientific theories and their relation to the world. The roots of science in everyday cognition and behavior. Philosophy is the art of asking penetrating questions, it is a ruthlessly honest and critical investigation of what we really know about ourselves and the world.
Philosophy can free our minds from dogmas, false beliefs and self-deception.
It can also launch our minds into wild flights of fantasy and speculation. Philosophy is not about what some people said long ago. Philosophy is about us, about you and me. Philosophy is all around us, in the assumptions that underlay our daily lives, in the technology that is transforming us and our world, and even in our entertainment culture, in Star Trek and in films like Total Recall and Blade Runner.
