Chapter 1 examines how the “kind of visual hallucination” (David Clark) arising from micro-attention to “the real Surface” of Blakean illuminated printing enables bird-like soaring and expanded sense-perception. These out-of-body experiences reflect the influence of Berkeley’s strong realism about ideas. Further, they disclose a metaphysics of divine presence very like Malebranche’s Christian Platonist Vision in God (a major influence on Berkeley). For objects to be fully “present to the mind,” as eighteenth-century way-of-ideas theory stipulated, mind must travel to where objects exist as true ideas beyond representation, namely God. This metaphysics fuels the analogies in Blake’s work to contemporary traveling and colonial exploration. They go to form a Blakean animistic anthropology very similar to the “Amerindian perspectivism” recently theorized by Eduardo Viveiros de Castro.
