Philosophy For Our Times

CHAPTER

Are Psychedelic Experiences Delusions or Insights into Reality?

This chapter explores the question of whether psychedelic experiences reveal something true about the nature of reality or if they are simply delusions. It discusses the use of psychedelics in treating mental health, the neuroscience behind them, and the perspectives of indigenous cultures who have used mind-altering substances for centuries. The chapter also raises questions about the connection between reality, dreams, and the exploration of the spirit world.
