Philosophical analysis
Abstract
Examines the epistemic status, meaning, and interpretation of substance-induced visions, focusing on ayahuasca. Under the intoxication, people report gaining significant knowledge and understanding — psychological insights, philosophical ideations, and spiritual experiences. Takes a cognitive-phenomenological perspective coupled with philosophical epistemological analysis.
