William Blake denigrates visual experience, and sensory experience generally, as incapable of yielding genuine insight. Yet he cites his own “visions” as sources of spiritual insight. How does he conceive of visions such that they escape the limitations of the sensory? I argue that he has a coherent solution to this problem, combining an empiricist view of sense experience with an antiempiricist view of experience in general.
