“Chris’s recent work addresses the question of whether the joyous cosmology of psychedelic consciousness is simply foisting a comforting delusion on the sick and the dying. His central argument is that, while psychedelic therapy has epistemic flaws, it also has epistemic benefits. In experiencing phenomena that may not be ‘real’, one gains ‘real’ knowledge into one’s mind and its possibilities. Psychedelic subjects gain experiential knowledge of their own psychological potential, and of the constructed nature of their sense of self. In this interview he explains why psychedelic experiences are not delusions, neuroscience is essential to philosophy of mind, and philosophers should have more access to psychedelic experience, while questioning the notion of a ‘psychedelic worldview’.”
