PHI 105 Week 3 DQ 2 Updated
Descartes famously argued that he could not rely on his body, senses, and even his idea of reality because he did not know if he was dreaming or not. Sometimes, he wrote, he would think he was awake, only to realize that he was just having a very realistic dream. People who have lost touch with reality, he further argued, seemed to think they were someone they weren’t and that reality was something it wasn’t. How did he know he wasn’t dreaming or hallucinating? am is something we continue to be fascinated by. Think of The Matrix or Inception, for example, which both hinge on the question of what is real and what is a dream.
However, this link between dreaming and reality is not limited to European thought. The famous Chinese Daoist philosopher Chuang Tzu (also known as Zhuangzi and Chuang Chou) also thought about this question. He wrote:
Last night Chuang Chou dreamed he was a butterfly, spirits soaring he was a butterfly (is it that in showing what he was he suited his own fancy?), and did not know about Chou. When all of a sudden he awoke, he was Chou with all his wits about him. He does not know whether he is Chou who dreams he is a butterfly or a butterfly who dreams he is Chou. Between Chou and the butterfly there was necessarily a dividing; just this is what is meant by transformations of things. (Graham, 2001, p. 61)
Graham, A. C. (Ed.) (2001). Chuang-Tzu: The inner chapters. Indianapolis, IN: Hackett.
How do you know you are not dreaming right now? What reasons might you have for thinking you are or are not dreaming? What if you woke up and realized all that had come before that moment was just a dream?

Thought Experiment — The Ring of Gyges
I look forward to your participation! Also, please remember to respond to FIRST MESSAGES!
In Book II of Plato’s famous utopia The Republic, his characters are arguing about what it means to do good and to be just. Glaucon argues that people do good and are just because society tells them to and because they are too weak to be unjust. In other words, because they might get caught. To prove his point, he introduces the famous story of the Ring of Gyges.
According to this story, there is a shepherd, Gyges, who is out tending his flock one day when all of a sudden there is a huge storm and earthquake. After the terror has passed, Gyges goes over and looks into the giant chasm the earthquake has opened in the earth. Inside he sees a giant metal horse. He climbs down and looks inside the horse and sees a skeleton with a ring on his finger. Gyges takes the ring off and puts it on. He steps outside and calls to his sheep, but they wander around him, bumping into him as if he is invisible. Gyges soon figures out that if he turns the stone on the ring, he actually becomes invisible. Gyges, using the ring and his new found invisibility, goes off to the palace where he gets into all sorts of trouble, not the least of which includes seducing the queen, killing the king, and taking the throne.
The tale was well known in the time of Plato and, if you read closely enough, you might see similarities to modern tales, such as The Lord of The Rings. Glaucon argues that if there were two rings and you gave one to a just man and one to an unjust man, they would both act the same.
Are we just because society tells us to be or because that is part of human nature? If you had Gyges’s ring, what would you do with it? Finally, if someone gets pleasure from helping others or from doing good deeds, should these actions be considered selfish?
