The illusion of reality: How (not) to think of hallucination
It is surprisingly difficult to provide an account of hallucination that captures all the cases that clinicians typically class as hallucinations, without at the same time admitting cases that would not typically be classed as such. Most attempts to specify exactly what a hallucination is supposed to be fails to meet at least one of these conditions, as we show in the first part of the paper. We then proceed to develop an account of hallucination…
Perceptual occlusion and the differentiation condition
Numerous philosophers accept the differentiation condition , according to which one does not see an object unless one visually differentiates it from its immediate surroundings. This paper, however, sounds a sceptical note. Based on suggestions by Dretske (2007) and Gibson (2002 [1972]), I articulate two ‘principles of occlusion’ and argue that each principle admits of a reading on which it is both plausible and incompatible with the differentiat…

Phenomenologists on Perception and Hallucination: Husserl and Merleau-Ponty
There is a chasm in current analytic philosophy of perception between disjunctivists (and naïve realists), on the one hand, and 'conjunctivists' (intentionalists), on the other. For more than a decade, scholars of phenomenology have debated how classical phenomenologists such as Husserl and Merleau-Ponty are to be located vis-à-vis this chasm. While there seems to be an emerging consensus that Merleau-Ponty was a disjunctivist avant la lettre, ho…

Telemedicine, as a way to qualify the orthopaedic pathway – a Participatory Design study
AIM: This study was done as the first phase of a Ph.D.-project where the overall aim is to investigate whether the fast-track treatment of patients with osteoporotic hip fracture can be improved by a telemedicine/tele-health solution, which promotes patients’ self-care and empowerment. CONTEXT: Hip fracture is the most common cause of hospitalization in an orthopaedic ward. The demographic changes with an increasing number of older people and lif…

McNeill on Embodied Perception Theory
Advocates of the perceptual hypothesis maintain that we can sometimes perceive others’ mental features, and thereby acquire non-inferential knowledge about them. The embodied perception theory states that the perceptual hypothesis is plausible if, but only if, some mental states are embodied. In a recent paper, W. E. S. McNeill argues that embodied perception theory is false. I argue that McNeill's objections are inconclusive.

Subjectivity and Transcendence
Modern philosophy begins with Descartes' discovery of an apparently indubitable realm of subjectivity . The Cartesian approach confronts philosophy with the problem of transcendence : At the same time as we appear to have secured an immanent realm of subjectivity, it becomes a problem how we can establish the existence of something outside this realm. What could possibly force - or even motivate - a subject, in possession of itself, to recognize …
The ethical residue of language in Levinas and early Wittgenstein
Using the later Levinas as a point of departure, this article tries to provide an account of the ethics of Wittgenstein's Tractatus. Although there has not been written much on this topic, there seems to be an increasing awareness among philosophers that there are interesting points of convergence between Levinas and the early Wittgenstein. In contrast to most (if not all) other accounts of the relation, however, this article argues that the trul…
Husserl and Heidegger on Being in the World
"This book is for researchers and graduate students interested in phenomenology in general, and Husserlian and Heideggerian phenomenology in particular. It is a study of the phenomenological philosophies of Husserl and Heidegger." "Through a critical discussion including practically all previously published English and German literature on the subject, the aim is to present a thorough and evenhanded account of the relation between the two philoso…
