A Skeptical Discussion in the Context of Virtual Reality: Brains in Vats

Abstract

This article aims first to introduce Brains in Vats, which was developed as a skeptical discussion, then to clarify its relationship to the problem of the external world, which is one of the traditional problems of philosophy, and also to today’s inquiries into the concept of virtual reality. Furthermore, the article aims to show the way for escaping from the problem/skepticism occurring in this context too.
