Eikasia

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Eikasia was used by Plato to refer to a human way of dealing with appearances.[1]

It is the inability to perceive whether a perception is an image of something else. It therefore prevents us from perceiving that a dream or memory or a reflection in a mirror is not reality as such.
