Summary:On the Construction of Reality' is a philosophical analysis combined with a practical implementation of the theory. It presents a theory about how reality is created by using very simple, basic principles. Inspired by experiments of the Nobel Prize-winning neurologist Roger Wolcott Sperry, two different approaches are explained regarding what happens when the right and the left side of the brain are copying a picture. Following Roman Jakobson, these principles are named metaphor and metonymy. Looking at various sciences, we draw the conclusion that the two principles are practiced in every discipline.
