Perception, Hallucination, and Illusion
William Fish
Reviews and Awards
"In Perception, Hallucination, and Illusion, Fish does an admirable job of summarizing the current state of the debate about Naïve Realism, as well as advancing the dialectic beyond that state. Most importantly, he identifies a promising yet hitherto overlooked motivation for Naïve Realism, one which should bring even Naive Realism's most trenchant critics to admit that the view is worth taking seriously. ... In short, anyone on either side of the debate over Naïve Realism, and those wanting to learn what all the fuss is about, would do well to study Fish's book closely." --Philosophical Books
"[Perception, Hallucination, and Illusion] is a substantial contribution. Fish communicates a clear sense of the philosophical landscape that naïve realists confront, and defends a stimulating proposal about how naïve realists should deal with key parts of this landscape.... the book as a whole is a clear presentation of an intriguing and comprehensive naïve?realist view, a work that harpens our understanding of the debate to which this theory contributes."--Matthew Kennedy, Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews
