perception and reality

Perception and reality is the philosophical inquiry into the nature of consciousness, sensory experience, and whether observed reality exists independently of the observer or is fundamentally shaped by mind and conditioning. It encompasses questions about illusion, the limits of human perception, and the distinction between waking and non-ordinary states.
