In this recording of a talk held on May 2nd 2023, Professor Raymond Tallis looks critically at the very idea of ‘reality’, at ways of thinking about the question ‘what is real?’, and at the belief that we should look to natural science to provide the most authoritative answer to this question.

In particular he focuses on the idea that science (evolutionary theory and physics) has demonstrated that what passes for reality in everyday is in fact an illusion.
