Colours : their nature and representation / Barry Maund

Main Author Maund, Barry Publication New York : Cambridge University Press, 1995 Description XV, 247 p., [4] f. ISBN 0521472733 Abstract Índice: Part I. The representation of colour; Part II. The colours objects have: the pluralist framework; Part III. Colours and consciousness.
 Resumo: This book defends the radical thesis that no physical object has any of the colours we experience it as having. The author provides a unified account of colour that shows why we experience the illusion and why the illusion is not to be dispelled but welcomed. He develops a pluralist framework of colour-concepts in which other, more sophisticated concepts of colour are introduced to supplement the simple concept that is presupposed in our ordinary colour experience.
