How do we know if..?

Question

This question has been bothering me for as long as I can remember. How do we know if this life is real? Everything is so.. complicated in this life for example, quantum physics. It's so interesting yet confusing. You know when people ask "What is the meaning of life" I ask what IS life..? Thank you :)

Answer 1

We don't.  You should take a philosophy class.  You'd love it.

Answer 2

this life is not real, this life is illusion you think that you are living but you don't, somebody created us in his mind all this world is just illusion even god cann't create this world, when he think he create in the same time but in his mind.

we and the world exist for us in reality, but in reality we don't exist, we are illusion.

thanks

Answer 3

It sounds like you need to define what "reality" is for yourself.

Think about that for awhile...

Answer 4

For all intents and purposes, it is real, and there is no reason to think that it is not.

This is all.

Answer 5

Hello, my name is Prof. C Lawrence Hansson, I am a prominent Australian Philosopher whose research centers on Philosophy of the mind. I am currently a Professor of Philosophy and lecture Philosophical Science at one of Queenslands most prestigious Universities. This is a very Philosophical question, one which I can answer. God and acquaintance. When I tap my table right now I receive a sound from it, a deep wooden sound, the shows my acquaintance with the table. Although, there is nothing real about the table except for what is being perceived by our sense - data. When we turn away from the table, how do we then know that the table still exists. God, when we are not acquainted with a Physical object, we should not doubt its existence, for God continues to permanently perceived the table, thus the table is merely a product of our imagination. How do we know we are who we are? The answer is...We don't for unless we are acquainted with a person called " I " every day, we may not be certain that we are the same person as we where yesterday.
