Does the color “red” exist outside of the subjective mind that conceptually designates the concept of “red?” — Mp202020
Colours are biological phenomena that arise when we and many other organisms interact with our visible environment. — jkop
I'm sure there's red. Do you know of a good reason to doubt colour realism? — jkop
When you say you've had the experience of seeing red, — frank
I would pay for experiencing that experience. How would it be? Like the sweetness of a candy or the sharp odour of non-drinking water? — javi2541997
But could we experience the red colour itself? — javi2541997
If there is no mind to experience and conceptually designate “red” does red ever aquire an inherent existence independent of a third party mind? — Mp202020
I would refute by stating that we have agreed to call a specific light frequency as “red” — Mp202020
That's confusing to me because most theories about cognition are representational, but not Cartesian. — frank
This is a representational system, in fact it involves three different representations, but there's nothing Cartesian about it. See what I mean? — frank
Surely you can see what a bad example that is. When is information actually information in any normal sense? When it is in the post or when it is being written and read? — apokrisis
