Description

Seeing is believing. Yet, optical illusions and acid trips make it clear that what we see is a function of what we think and believe. Might perception and experience be a creative response to the world enabling us to live in a strange and unknowable world? Or do they provide a direct link to reality? The panel: Professor of Philosophy at the University of Miami Berit Brogaard, neuroscientist at UCL Karl Friston, philosopher and award-winning broadcaster Hillary Lawson, and director and presenter of BBC and Channel 4 documentaries David Malone discuss how what we perceive corresponds to reality.
