Document Summary
You also have the idea of ultimate reality . It is a goal/end that you are trying to get to something. If there is no ultimate reality then metaphysics is a study without a subject. Reality is usually at the bottom which makes up the world. Matter, energy, physical/natural laws, logic, consciousness, perception. Matter and energy are both the same. In the history of philosophy, a philosopher believes if you cannot observe it then it does not exists. In that case, it is not real it is reality . The way you see the world is real, but it is not necessarily reality. Back in time (b. c) the gods were real and reality. God is real to us and too our thoughts as well. By looking at something such as desk. But we also know when we meditate, we can bring our self to a certain state. When you meditate the things you see are usually not physical objects.
