Quality-Space Functionalism about Color

چکیده
I motivate and defend a previously underdeveloped functionalist account of the metaphysics color, view that call ‘quality-space functionalism’ about color. Although other theorists have proposed varieties color functionalism, this differs from such accounts insofar as it identifies individuates colors by their relative locations within particular kind so-called ‘quality space’ reflects creatures’ capacities to discriminate visually among stimuli. My arguments for are abductive: propose quality-space functionalism best captures our commonsense conception fits with many experimental findings, coheres phenomenology experience, avoids issues standard theories physicalism relationalism.

Functionalism about Truth and the Metaphysics of Reduction
Functionalism about truth is the view that truth is an explanatorily significant but multiply-realizable property. According to this view the properties that realize truth vary from domain to domain, but the property of truth is a single, higher-order, domain insensitive property. We argue that this view faces a challenge similar to the one that Jaegwon Kim laid out for the multiple realization...
متن کاملUnderstanding modern functionalism and its effects in configuring domestic space
0 Abstract Modern agenda gives to function a fundamental position in architecture. This problem is addressed in many architectural texts, either by describing the functional dimension of buildings, or by prescribing design methods to solve and formally express it. This study tries to understand how these ideas are embedded into modern buildings, by observing the effects of the methodological pr...
متن کاملPerceptual Quality of Color Images of Natural Scenes Transformed in CIELUV Color Space
Transformations of digitized color images in perceptually-uniform CIELUV color space and their perceptual relevance were investigated. Chroma variation was chosen as the first step of a series of investigations into possible transformations (including lightness, hue-angle, chroma, etc.). To obtain the information about the perceptual consequences of the chosen transformations, perceptual image ...
متن کاملExtended cognition and functionalism
Andy Clark and David Chalmers argue that the mind sometimes extends outside the body to encompass features of the environment (HEC). HEC has been criticised by Fred Adams, Kenneth Aizawa, and Robert Rupert. In this paper, I argue for two claims: (1) HEC is a harder target than those critics have supposed; HEC is entailed by functionalism, a commonly held view in philosophy of mind, and one to w...
متن کاملEffects of Color and Glitter on the Removable Space Maintainer
Introduction: It may be necessary to make some modifications to the removable space maintainers for the persuasion of children to use this device. However, modification of the polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) may affect its mechanical properties as well. Therefore, the present study aimed to evaluate the effects of color and glitter on the flexural strength of PMMA. Meth...
