MIND AND BEING: THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN CONSCIOUSNESS AND REALITY

Authors/Creators

Description

The relationship between consciousness and being is one of the fundamental problems of philosophy. This issue concerns whether consciousness determines reality or whether reality exists independently of human perception. The debate has historically divided philosophers into materialists and idealists, while contemporary philosophy explores dualism and physicalism. This article analyzes major philosophical perspectives on the relationship between mind and being and evaluates their implications for epistemology and metaphysics. The study concludes that although materialist approaches dominate modern science, the problem remains open and philosophically significant.
