Hallucinations: Oliver Sacks Dr Sacks became well known as a neurologist and writer with a unique perspective on disorders of the brain. In ‘Hallucinations’ Sacks discusses the history of misperception and illusion, considering not only the visual, but also audio and olfactory hallucinations (‘hearing things’ and ‘smelling things’). He fleshes out this history with personal experiences, not only with patients, but with his own experiments with Hallucinogenic drugs. You can’t not warm to Sack’s eccentric and curatorial approach to tripping, ‘I…had put on the kettle for another cup of tea when my attention was caught by a spider on the kitchen wall. The spider said ‘Hello!’… I said, ‘Hello yourself’ and we started a conversation, mostly on rather technical matters of analytic philosophy
