Dispositionalism: Democritus and Colours by Convention

Maund, Barry

Pages: 3 –24

[Dispositionalism about colours is usually held to be incompatible with Colour Eliminativism: the view that there are no objects that have colours. I think that this common belief is false. There are different forms, both of Eliminativism and Dispositionalism, and that we can mount a combination...

Hue, Brightness & Saturation in Classical Greek Chroma Terms

Txapartegi, Ekai

Pages: 25 –45

[The Universals and Evolution model in cross-language color naming systems (Berlin B, Kay P, Basic color terms. University of California Press, Berkeley, 1969) predicted that Classical Greek chroma terms should have referred to hue regions of the color space. In this article, I propose an...

How Many Colours?

Walsh, Kirsten

Pages: 47 –71

[Isaac Newton’s first optical paper (published in the Philosophical Transactions in February1672) was controversial: Newton argued for a new theory of light and colour when no one else thought the old one was inadequate, and he argued that his new theory was certainly true! A debate followed, in...

Goethe contra Newton on Colours, Light, and the Philosophy of Science

Müller, Olaf L.

Pages: 73 –95

[Goethe carried out an enormous number of experiments before criticizing Newton’s theory of light and colours in the Farbenlehre (1810). He managed to show that Newton’s reasoning is based on a rather narrow choice of experiments, in which parameters such as the distance between the prism and the...

On Color: The Husserlian Material a Priori

da Silva, Jairo José

Pages: 97 –105

[In this paper I present and discuss Husserl’s concept of material a priori truth, particularly with respect to color-concepts, and show that Schlick’s criticism (“Is there a material a priori?”) of Husserl’s notion is based on misunderstandings and misconceptions.]

Impossible Colours: Wittgenstein and the Naturalist’s Challenge

Lugg, Andrew

Pages: 107 –121

[With the rise of naturalistic philosophy, conceptual analysis has faded into the background, and Ludwig Wittgenstein’s account of reddish green and transparent white as grammatically excluded has been written off or ignored. While his view of such impossible colours is, as he himself saw, open...

Colours – Wittgenstein vs (Katz & Bühler)

Mulligan, Kevin

Pages: 125 –136

[Colours in ordinary life interact in complex ways with light, unlike the colours represented by colour solids or the “reduced” colours sometimes considered by psychologists. Wittgenstein’s explorations of colours in ordinary life and light are intended to illustrate his view that the world of...

What the Mind-Independence of Color Requires

Ross, Peter W.

Pages: 137 –158

[The early modern distinction between primary and secondary qualities continues to have a significant impact on the debate about the nature of color. An aspect of this distinction that is still influential is the idea that the mind-independence of color requires that it is a primary quality....

Explaining Colour Phenomenology

Unwin, Nicholas

Pages: 159 –174

[It is very natural to wonder if other people see colours in the same way as we do (for example, that you see red where I see green, and vice versa), for there is no obvious way of telling one way or the other. The hypothesis of inverted qualia, in particular of inverted colour hues, goes back at...

Dasein Is the Animal That Sorts Out Colors

Ainbinder, Bernardo

Pages: 175 –193

[In this paper, I will tackle a question that has been absent in the literature, namely, what is Heidegger’s conception of colour-perception. Heidegger himself, who discusses at length other kinds of experiences, is silent about the topic. There may a be a good reason for that: since he insists...
