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.

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...

Perceptual 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 ...

Extended 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...

Effects 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...
