The definition of reality presents a philosophical problem.
Determining what is real and what is not has been a reason for

opinion ignore the reality of things, which is why they are part of the
scope of the probable and the apparent. Knowledge has its
origin in sensory perception, then it arrives at understanding and
finally concludes in reason. It is said that knowledge is
