The real is that which you are most sure exists. I am more sure of the fact that a circle's circumference will be 2πr than I am that the Sun will always rise in the East. Reality exists on a gradated scale, and modern philosophy is stuck at the most unreal level (the level of mere reflections).

Reminder that if a book, especially a non-fiction book, has ever produced an emotional response from you then you lack the cool-headed objective detachment necessary to make any claims over the quality of a work of literature.
