The Red and the Real offers a new approach to longstanding
philosophical puzzles about what colors are and how they fit into
the natural world. Jonathan Cohen argues for a role-functionalist
treatment of color - a view according to which colors are identical
to certain functional roles involving perceptual effects on
subjects. Cohen first argues (on broadly empirical grounds) for the
more general relationalist view that colors are constituted in
terms of relations between objects, perceivers, and viewing
conditions. He responds to semantic, ontological, and
phenomenological objections against this thesis, and argues that
relationalism offers the best hope of respecting both empirical
results and ordinary belief about color. He then defends the more
specific role functionalist-account by contending that the latter
is the most plausible form of color relationalism.
