Making sense of existence and what it means to be real

About

RealityCheck tackles the biggest questions about existence, identity, and the nature of reality in ways that connect to ordinary experience. It shows how metaphysical puzzles relate to practical concerns about personal identity, free will, and the nature of time.

Drawing from both analytic and continental traditions, RealityCheck examines questions like what makes you 'you' over time, whether free will exists, and how consciousness relates to physical reality. It emphasizes how these abstract questions have concrete implications.

Readers come to RealityCheck when grappling with fundamental questions about existence and identity. Each article provides conceptual clarity on deep philosophical problems while remaining grounded in recognizable human experience.
