Abstract:

In this paper we consider, and reject, Harold Langsam's defence of the Theory of Appearing, in this journal (1997), in the face of three standard arguments against it. These arguments are: the argument from hallucination; the argument from the same cause-same effect principle; and the argument from perceptual time-gap.
