Talk:Illusionism (philosophy)

Page contents not supported in other languages.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This definition of illusionism, referring only to the issue of freewill, is onconsistent with the definitions suggested on the pages linking here (from wikipedia), which talk about illusionism as being a wider metaphysical doctrine about the nature of the apparent material world.

The American Heritage Dictioanry supports this interpretation:

l·lu·sion·ism (-lzh-nzm) n. 1. Philosophy The doctrine that the material world is an immaterial product of the senses. 2. The use of illusionary techniques and devices in art or decoration.

I think the current article should be reclassified as "illusionism_(freewill)" and a new article written for "illusionism"


On a similar note, there is also a version of illusionism that is specifically about consciousness, so I agree that this article should be renamed illusionism_(freewill) .
