Belief, Imagination, and Delusion
6th–7th November 2018
Room G35, Chemical Engineering
University of Birmingham
Conference Theme
This conference aims to bring together researchers interested in the nature of belief, imagination, and delusion formation, to reflect on interactions between these areas. The conference will invite researchers working on the nature of belief or imagination to approach delusions as a case study against which to reflect on their views. Researchers interested in delusion formation will be asked to reflect on accounts of the nature of belief and imagination, and how those fit with models of delusion formation.

Federico Bongiorno (University of Birmingham): 'Is the Capgras Delusion an Endorsement of Experience?'
