Philosophical Reflection On The Controversy Between Realism And Anti Realism In Virtual Reality

Virtual reality is a virtual environment presented by computers and related projection equipment.With the continuous development of technology,virtual reality technology is gradually infiltrating into various fields of society,and it also subtly changes the human lifestyle.Virtual reality also brings a huge impact to our traditional concepts.The question of reality also triggers new philosophical thinking.The realism and anti-realism debates on virtual reality still exist,There are always fundamental differences in philosophical understanding in the academic community.The realist view is that the essence of virtual reality is still material:First of all,from the perspective of constituent elements,virtual reality is a combination of various electronic numbers and symbols.It is based on a certain program and sequence of electronic objects,and the objective existence of virtual reality is mainly reflected.These numbers and symbols are independent of consciousness and have independent characteristics.The anti-realistic view holds that what people perceive in the virtual reality system is only the consciousness activity in their own hearts.From the perspective of the distinction between matter and consciousness,virtual reality is essentially the expression of consciousness activity,and virtual reality is the externalization of human consciousness.The former ignores the role of virtual reality in human ideology.On the contrary,the latter goes to the other extreme,that is,does not recognize the objective reality of virtual reality.The author believes that these two viewpoints are one-sided and do not look at the essential attribute of virtual reality through a dialectical perspective.Virtual reality has the characteristics of matter,and it is also the expression of human consciousness.Only by understanding the virtual reality from the perspective of the interaction between matter and consciousness can we correctly understand the materiality of virtual reality and make more rational use of virtual reality technology.First of all,virtual reality has the characteristics of matter.On the one hand,it is based on objective matter,and electronic information is a virtual material carrier.Without material,there is no virtual reality.Second,virtual reality also reflects the initiative of human consciousness.Virtual reality is the embodiment of human consciousness,because virtual reality is the simulation and simulation of real world by digital technology,and these material properties can be perceived by human perception.In summary,the dialectical material view can provide a possibility for both parties to resolve the virtual reality.
