Narrative as Reality. How do we perceive reality and how is it depicted in theories?


Essay, 2016

8 Pages, Grade: 97


Abstract or Introduction

In this essay the role perception and/or memory play in our understanding of reality will be analyzed. How is this understanding accounted for or depicted in representations or theories about reality and what larger conclusions can we draw from this?

The interpretation of reality is a fascinating topic for exploration for a variety of reasons. Despite inhabiting our own realities and living a unique human experience as ourselves, we generally have no way to access what it would be like to have someone else’s experience.

I will attempt to contain the concepts in this essay in limited fashion, but obviously terms such as subconscious are not fully comprehended and thus are subject to interpretation and understanding. However, I take subconscious to deal with complex phenomena such as self-preservation, identity, motivations, desires, fears and so forth. On the other hand the ‘mind’s eye’ if you will is whatever thoughts are being held up and examined or being explored by your active willing. The long and short is, various things are happening in the deep layers of consciousness but what is in your minds eye is that which has caught your attention.
