  1. Colors as Properties of the Special Sciences.Kent Johnson & Wayne Wright - 2006 - Erkenntnis 64 (2):139 - 168.
    We examine the pros and cons of color realism, exposing some desiderata on a theory of color: the theory should render colors as scientifically legitimate and correctly individuated, and it should explain how we have veridical color experiences. We then show that these desiderata can by met by treating colors as properties of the special sciences. According to our view, some of the major as properties of the special sciences. According to our view, some of the major disputes in the (...)

  • Objective colours and evolutionary value: A reply to Dedrick.Miri Albahari - 1999 - Dialogue 38 (1):99-108.
    RÉSUMÉ: Dans «Objectivism and the Evolutionary Value of Colour Vision», Don Dedrick suggère qu'une conception raffinée de la valeur adaptative en matière de vision des couleurs conduit à une explication non objectiviste de la couleur. Le raffinement, en l'occurrence, consiste à prendre en considération le rôle que jouent les processus perceptuels internes, contraints par les exigences de l'adaptation, dans la répartition des couleurs selon les catégories familières de rouge, violet, bleu, etc. L'objectivisme, par contraste, est présenté par Dedrick comme la (...)

  • Whatever..Don Dedrick - 2001 - Dialogue 40 (2):367-374.
    In her reply to my “Objectivism and the Evolutionary Value of Colour Vision,” Miri Albahari writes that “[I]ssues pertaining to the mind-independence of colour itself and the mind-independence of colour category origins have... been conflated by philosophers such as Dedrick, and I see this tradition as well worth breaking.”.

  • (1 other version)Can Colour Be Reduced to Anything?Don Dedrick - 1996 - Philosophy of Science 63 (S3):S134-S142.
    C. L. Hardin has argued that the colour opponency of the vision system leads to chromatic subjectivism: chromatic sensory states reduce to neurophysiological states. Much of the force of Hardin's argument derives from a critique of chromatic objectivism. On this view chromatic sensory states are held to reduce to an external property. While I agree with Hardin's critique of objectivism it is far from clear that the problems which beset objectivism do not apply to the subjectivist position as well. I (...)
