  Some disjunctivists claim that veridical perceptions have a phenomenal character that hallucinations cannot possess. For example, according to one version of naïve realism (what we might call ‘naïve realism about phenomenal character’), when one veridically perceives the world, the mind-independent items perceived, such as tables and trees and the properties they manifest to one when perceived, partly constitute one’s conscious experience, and hence determine its phenomenal character. This sort of naïve realist view is primarily motivated by phenomenological considerations. The suggestion is that this view best articulates how sensory experience seems to us to be through introspective reflection. According to those who propose this form of naïve realism one cannot provide an adequate account of the phenomenal character of veridical perception by simply appealing to the idea that such experience has an intentional content that represents the world as being a certain way, even if one holds that the intentional content in question is object-dependent; nor can one provide an adequate account of the phenomenal character of veridical perception by simply adding to this the claim that experience possesses further non-representational properties that it could possess independently of whether any mind-independent objects are being perceived. The naïve realist about phenomenal character instead claims that the right account of the phenomenal character of veridical perception should appeal to the idea that such experience relates to the mind-independent items perceived in a non-representational manner. (The motivations for this view are discussed in section 3.3).
