Description
The world as we experience it is full of colour. This book defends a radical thesis that no physical object has any of the colours we experience it as having. It provides a unified account of colour, explaining why we experience an illusion and why this illusion should be welcomed. The author develops a pluralist framework of colour-concepts, introducing more sophisticated concepts to supplement our everyday understanding of colour. The discussion draws on a range of philosophical and scientific literature, from historical to modern sources. This approach makes the book accessible to a broad audience of philosophers, cognitive scientists, and historians of science. By exploring the nature of colour, this book offers a fresh perspective on our understanding of perception and reality.
