The 18th-century Scottish 'common sense' philosopher Thomas Reid argued that perception can be distinguished on several dimensions from other categories of experience, such as sensation, illusion, hallucination, mental images, and what he called 'fancy.' We extend his approach to eleven mental categories, and discuss how these distinctions, often ignored in the empirical literature, bear on current research. We also score each category on five properties (ones abstracted from Reid) to form a 5 × 11 matrix, and thus can generate statistical measures of their mutual dependencies, a procedure that may have general interest as illustrating what we can call 'computational philosophy.'
18世纪苏格兰“常识”哲学家托马斯·里德认为，感知在几个维度上可与其他经验类别区分开来，比如感觉、错觉、幻觉、心理意象以及他所称的“幻想”。我们将他的方法扩展到十一种心理类别，并讨论这些在实证文献中常常被忽视的区别如何与当前研究相关。我们还根据五个属性（从里德的观点中提炼出来的）对每个类别进行评分，以形成一个5×11的矩阵，从而能够生成它们相互依存关系的统计度量，这一过程作为阐释我们所谓的“计算哲学”可能会引起广泛兴趣。
