What’s real? What is the totality of reality like? And what does it mean to be real?
Though discussions of these questions have been ubiquitous throughout the history of philosophy, over the past two decades, questions about reality have been discussed with new enthusiasm. This conference brings together different contemporary philosophical debates about reality, addressing foundational issues just as well as applied ones.
