Abstract

Naïve realism is the view that the kind of conscious experience that a subject enjoys, when she perceives, is, at least in part, constituted by the mind‐independent objects and qualities that she perceives. The view is compelling for cases of genuine perception, but it faces an immediate challenge from the possibility of hallucinations—experiences that seem just like perceptions but lack any mind‐independent objects of awareness. In this paper, I evaluate the different attempts that naïve realists have made to respond to this threat.
