Searching for Private Ontologies of Reality

Psychological Research on the Assessment of the Reality of Concept Designates

In the presented monograph, Krzysztof Mudyń deals with the once classic issue of philosophy: namely, what is the essence of reality? What distinguishes the real from the unreal? In the author’s presentation, the above problem takes on a very interesting form, namely that of a query belonging to the field of psychology: What is more and what is less real for an individual and what does this subjective reality of a given phenomenon or object signify or imply. From the perspective of a psychologist, the author analyzes the phenomenon of experiencing the degree of reality of objects by an individual as well as the correlatives of these experiences.
