Dr. Hamid Taieb (HU Berlin):

Two Phenomenological Views on Truths about Colors


Abstract
This paper explores theories of colours in early phenomenology, that is, in Franz Brentano, the early Husserl and their students. It focuses on two alternative views found among early phenomenologists on how statements about colours taken as primitive physical entities can be true without accepting naive realism about colours: Platonism and conceptual analysis. The paper first explains why early phenomenologists regard colours as physical properties and why they regard them as primitive (physical) properties. It then looks at the two alternatives mentioned for accounting for truths about colours. After presenting them, it criticizes both options in favour of naive realism.
