Perceptual objects may have nonphysical properties

Research output: Contribution to journalComment/Debate

Abstract

Byrne & Hilbert defend color realism, which assumes that: (a) colors are properties of objects; (b) these objects are physical; hence, (c) colors are physical properties. I accept (a), agree that in a certain sense (b) can be defended, but reject (c). Colors are properties of perceptual objects - which also have underlying physical properties - but they are not physical properties.
