چکیده
WE SEE TWO CLUSTERS of questions arising out of the papers in this issue. The first cluster concerns the role of experience in the explanation of delusions: Do abnormal experiences play a central role in accounting for delusions, or are they at best only marginal? And if experience plays a central role in accounting for delusions, exactly what role does it play? The second cluster of questions concerns the interpretability of delusions: Are delusional utterances meaningful, or are they mere noises? And if they are meaningful, what makes it the case that they are meaningful?

Narrators and comparators: the architecture of agentive self-awareness
This paper contrasts two approaches to agentive self-awareness: a highlevel, narrative-based account, and a low-level comparator-based account. We argue that an agent’s narrative self-conception has a role to play in explaining their agentive judgments, but that agentive experiences are explained by low-level comparator mechanisms that are grounded in the very machinery responsible for action-p...
متن کاملBottom-Up or Top- Down? Campbell’s Rationalist Account of Monothematic Delusions
A popular approach to monothematic delusions in the recent literature has been to argue that monothematic delusions involve broadly rational responses to highly unusual experiences. Campbell (2001) calls this the empiricist approach to monothematic delusions, and argues that it cannot account for the links between meaning and rationality. In place of empiricism, Campbell offers a rationalist ac...
متن کاملPerception , Emotions and Delusions : Revisiting the Capgras ' Delusion
The study of delusions has important implications for understanding the role played by affective processes on the road from experience to belief. It can also shed light on the forms of modularity these processes manifest. There are at least two different ways in which emotional processes may be relevant to the etiology of delusional beliefs. First, current models of delusion converge in proposi...
متن کاملPhenomenology and delusions: who put the 'alien' in alien control?
Although current models of delusion converge in proposing that delusions are based on unusual experiences, they differ in the role that they accord experience in the formation of delusions. On some accounts, the experience comprises the very content of the delusion, whereas on other accounts the delusion is adopted in an attempt to explain an unusual experience. We call these the endorsement an...
متن کاملJakob Hohwy Top - Down and Bottom - Up in Delusion Formation
SOME DELUSIONS MAY arise as responses to unusual experiences (Davies et al. 2001; Maher 1974;). The implication is that delusion formation in some cases involves some kind of bottom-up mechanism—roughly, from perception to belief. Delusion formation may also involve some kind of top-down mechanism. This could be in the shape of a patient’s flawed background beliefs, or biases, which somehow mod...
