A philosophical account of the structure of experience and how it
depends on interpersonal relations, developed through a study of
auditory verbal hallucinations and thought insertion. In Real
Hallucinations, Matthew Ratcliffe offers a philosophical
examination of the structure of human experience, its vulnerability
to disruption, and how it is shaped by relations with other people.
He focuses on the seemingly simple question of how we manage to
distinguish among our experiences of perceiving, remembering,
imagining, and thinking. To answer this question, he first develops
a detailed analysis of auditory verbal hallucinations (usually
defined as hearing a voice in the absence of a speaker) and thought
insertion (somehow experiencing one's own thoughts as someone
else's). He shows how thought insertion and many of those
experiences labeled as "hallucinations" consist of disturbances in
a person's senseof being in one type of intentional state rather
than another. Ratcliffe goes on to argue that such experiences
occur against a backdrop of less pronounced but wider-ranging
alterations in the structure of intentionality. In so doing, he
considers forms of experience associated with trauma,
schizophrenia, and profound grief. The overall position arrived at
is that experience has an essentially temporal structure, involving
patterns of anticipation and fulfillment that are specific to types
of intentional states and serve to distinguish them
phenomenologically. Disturbances of this structure can lead to
various kinds of anomalous experience. Importantly,
anticipation-fulfillment patterns are sustained, regulated, and
disrupted by interpersonal experience and interaction. It follows
that the integrity of human experience, including the most basic
sense of self, is inseparable from how we relate to other people
and to the social world as a whole.
