Greetings,
Here's one way to analyze the concept of illusion as presented by Mari Albahari:
"I begin by analysing the concept of ILLUSION and then in a later section,
that of a CONSTRUCT. The possible application of these concepts to the self
will become apparent as discussions proceeds.
"Most generally, an illusion involves a conflict between appearance and
reality. Sometimes, X, appears to be the case, but there is something about S
that does not reflect reality' it MISLEADS the person to whom it appears. In
other works, X PURPORTS, through the appearance, to exist in a particular
manner, than X does NOT REALLY exist in the purported manner. More formally:
"When X purports (through a medium of appearance) to exist in manner F,
to person P, X-as-F is illusory when X does not really exist in manner F."
---
This analysis of illusion is to be applied to the question of the difference
between 'self' and 'sense of self'.
