Philosophy for Lunch: "What Does Hallucination Teach Us About Perception?"
"What Does Hallucination Teach Us About Perception?"
Description: What do you see right now? The answer (obviously): a screen, some words, and various other physical objects. But couldn't you just be hallucinating? And if so, how can you be sure that you really see these things? In this P4L, we’ll look at whether hallucination threatens the commonsense idea that we perceive physical objects in the external world.
