Abstract

SOSA, Ernesto. Los sueños. Diánoia [online]. 2005, vol.50, n.55, pp.3-16. ISSN 0185-2450.

What are dreams made of? Are they like our conscious states in waking life except only for how they relate causally to their environment? No, dreaming is more like imagining than like hallucinating. We go into why this matters for philosophy, and in particular for epistemology. Interesting consequences follow for the status and epistemological distinctiveness of the cogito.

Keywords : philosophy; imagination; cogito; epistemology.
