Folk Core Beliefs about Color

Abstract: Johnston famously argued that the colors are, more or less inclusively speaking, dispositions to cause color experiences by arguing that this view best accommodates his five proposed core beliefs about color. Since then, Campbell, Kalderon, Gert, Benbaji, and others, have all engaged with at least some of Johnston's proposed core beliefs in one way or another. Which propositions are core beliefs is ultimately an empirical matter. We investigate whether Johnston's proposed core beliefs are, in fact, believed by… Show more

“…A starting point for primitivism is the ordinary practice of colour name ascription, which treats objects as the bearers of colours that are available to intersubjective visual inspection. Some work in experimental philosophy has sought to verify the primitivist's construal of the core commitments involved in this practice (Roberts & Schmidtke, ). Furthermore, the human and social sciences of colour, such as anthropology and linguistics (e.g., Anderson et al ), are domains of scientific research most relevant to the primitivist and not psychophysics, neuroscience, or any of the physical sciences.…”

“…We think that some of Johnston's "core beliefs" are accurate characterizations of aspects of the contemporary "common sense" conception of color. There is experimental evidence(Roberts and Schmidtke, 2019) that provides some support to the claim that the "core beliefs" correctly characterize our contemporary "common sense" conception of color. In particular, it seems hard to dispute that both Paradigms and Unity are aspects of contemporary "common sense" ways of thinking about color.…”

“…5 For recent experimental literature on folk colour beliefs see e.g. Adams and Hansen (2020), Cohen and Nichols (2010), Roberts et al (2014) and Roberts and Schmidtke (2019). 6 I regard Cohen (2009) and Chirimuuta (2015) as the most important defenses of Ecumenical Relationalism.…”

“…For recent discussion see again e.g Adams and Hansen (2020),Cohen and Nichols (2010),Roberts et al (2014). andRoberts and Schmidtke (2019). A third objection stems from circularity, which roughly charges that Relationalism defines blue by reference to experiencing/looking blue, and vice versa, and that this is a vicious form of circularity.…”
