A Naive Realist Theory of Colour' defends the view that colours are mind-independent
properties of things in the environment, that are distinct from properties identified
by the physical sciences. This view stands in contrast to the long-standing and wide-spread
view amongst philosophers and scientists that colours don't really exist - or at any
rate, that if they do exist, then they are radically different from the way that they
appear. It is argued that 'a naive realist theory of colour' best explains how colours
appear to perceiving subjects, and that this view is not undermined either by reflecting
on variations in colour perception between perceivers and across perceptual conditions,
or by our modern scientific understanding of the world. 'A Naive Realist Theory of
Colour' also illustrates how our understanding of what colours are has far-reaching
implications for wider questions about the nature of perceptual experience, the relationship
between mind and world, the problem of consciousness, the apparent tension between
common sense and scientific representations of the world, and even the very nature
and possibility of philosophical inquiry
