| Description: |
This course examines philosophical and empirical research on color experience and the nature of color. Much of the course will center around philosophers' handling of the issue of whether colors exist and, if they do, what they are and what we might know about them. Considerable attention will be given to the question of what a theory of color ought to look like, particularly if such a theory is supposed to be relevant to scientific research. This will lead us to look closely at some empirical and methodological details. |
