Episode 13.24: Are things we observe real?
from Unmaking Sense · host John Puddefoot
When we observe the world by interacting with photons and other particles that act as witnesses, do we interpret the world only in the way in which our brains invent things like colour, secondary qualities as John Locke described them, or do we see the world as it in some sense ‘really is’?
