The idea of a disjunctive theory of visual experiences first found
expression in J.M. Hinton's pioneering 1973 book Experiences. In
the first monograph in this exciting area since then, William Fish
develops a comprehensive disjunctive theory, incorporating detailed
accounts of the three core kinds of visual experience-perception,
hallucination, and illusion-and an explanation of how perception
and hallucination could be indiscriminable from one another without
having anything in common. In the veridical case, Fish contends
that the perception of a particular state of affairs involves the
subject's being acquainted with that state of affairs, and that it
is the subject's standing in this acquaintance relation that makes
the experience possess a phenomenal character. Fish argues that
when we hallucinate, we are having an experience that, while
lacking phenomenal character, is mistakenly supposed by the subject
to possess it. Fish then shows how this approach to visual
experience is compatible with empirical research into the workings
of the brain and concludes by extending this treatment to cover the
many different types of illusion that we can be subject to.
