Relationalism maintains that mind-independent objects are essential constituents of veridical perceptual experiences. According to the argument from hallucination, relationalism is undermined by perfect hallucinations, experiences that are introspectively indistinguishable from veridical perceptual experiences but lack an object. Recently, a new wave of relationalists have responded by questioning whether perfect hallucinations are possible: what seem to be perfect hallucinations may really be something else, such as illusions, veridical experiences of non-obvious objects, or experiences that are not genuinely possible. This paper argues that however well new wave relationalism may handle brains in vats, drug users “seeing” pink elephants, and other extraordinary hallucinations, it struggles to accommodate mundane hallucinations, such as “hearing” your child cry out from the room down the hall when she is actually sound asleep or “feeling” vibrations on your thigh even when your phone isn't in your pocket. Mundane hallucinations are best explained as byproducts of noise in the perceptual system, and noise-induced hallucinations are resistant to the strategies that new wave relationalists deploy to explain away other hallucinations. Mundane hallucinations can thus underpin an especially powerful version of the argument from hallucination.

世俗幻觉和新浪潮关系主义

关系主义认为，独立于心智的对象是真实知觉体验的重要组成部分。根据幻觉的论证，关系主义被完美的幻觉所破坏，这些幻觉内省地与真实的知觉体验无法区分但缺乏对象。最近，一波新的关系主义者通过质疑完美幻觉是否可能来回应：看似完美的幻觉可能真的是别的东西，比如幻觉、对不明显物体的真实体验，或者不是真正可能的体验。本文认为，无论新浪潮关系论如何很好地处理大桶中的大脑、吸毒者“看到”粉红色的大象以及其他非同寻常的幻觉，它都难以适应世俗的幻觉，例如，当您的孩子实际上正在熟睡时“听到”她在走廊尽头的房间里大喊大叫，或者即使您的手机不在口袋里也“感觉到”您的大腿在震动。平凡的幻觉最好解释为感知系统中噪声的副产品，而噪声引起的幻觉对新浪潮关系主义者用来解释其他幻觉的策略具有抵抗力。因此，世俗幻觉可以支持幻觉论证的一个特别有力的版本。噪音引起的幻觉对新浪潮关系主义者用来解释其他幻觉的策略具有抵抗力。因此，世俗幻觉可以支持幻觉论证的一个特别有力的版本。噪音引起的幻觉对新浪潮关系主义者用来解释其他幻觉的策略具有抵抗力。因此，世俗幻觉可以支持幻觉论证的一个特别有力的版本。
