Read the introductory essay The Philosophy and Psychology of Hallucination: An Introduction by Fiona Macpherson
Reviews:
"A vital addition to the literature on perception. Macpherson and Platchias have put together a lively, informative, and provocative collection of essays on hallucination. The scientific essays take us far beyond glib philosophical examples -- Lady Macbeth's dagger and so on. The philosophical sections relate to recent controversies: the much discussed doctrine of 'naive realism' and reflections on what hallucination teaches us about the nature of perceptual experience in general." -- Mohan Matthen, Canada Research Chair in Philosophy, University of Toronto
"Hallucination is the definitive collection on the philosophy and psychology of hallucination, offering a wide range of perspectives on this fascinating phenomenon. Macpherson provides a marvelous introduction, zeroing in with characteristic acuity on issues surrounding hallucination raised by experimental psychology, the metaphysics of perception, and epistemology." -- Susanna Siegel, Edgar Pierce Professor of Philosophy, Harvard University
