The Mirror of the Mind: Seeing personally, seeing really and seeing sanely

By Trevor Rollings

When we gaze in the mirror, we like to think that we get a true reflection of reality. But what if the mirror is dirty, cracked or shattered?We also assume that the mind doing the looking is a clear lens. But how do we know that our own viewing apparatus is not distorting what we are seeing?In this book we explore our ways of seeing personally through theory of mind, seeing clearly through our reality-testing mechanisms, and seeing sanely through staying in touch with other minds.To sharpen our focus, we consider three mind states that clarify what we understand by 'normal' seeing and being in the world: autism, schizophrenia and psychosis.
