Philosophy of perception

Exploring questions of selfhood, perception, and internal experience

This series examines foundational philosophical questions raised by dissociation: what is the self, how are internal experiences structured, and how do concepts and perceptions shape our understanding of mind and identity? It explores how dissociative phenomena challenge or affirm various notions of internal experience—and asks whether the ways we describe identity are themselves products of culture, interpretation, and metaphor.

Percepts and concepts I explore the interplay between "percepts" (raw experiences) and "concepts" (cultural frameworks) as described by William James, applying this framework to dissociative experiences (percept) and DID (concept).
