Thanks Donald! I have heard of that book.
I have a question to throw out to everyone:
A number of physical scientists whom I have corresponded with have
argued that science makes no metaphysical assumptions about reality at
all, but is instead, satisfied with acknowledging that there is
something out there (some consistency of external experience) and they
move on from there. In others words, many don't even consider the issue
of reality an interesting or worthwhile question. A few don't even want
to talk about it, period. And a few others claim that science makes no
such assumptions. What are your views on this?
