Dr. Jacob Berger of Lycoming College will be giving a talk at 1pm on Friday, February 24th, to be held in Bowman Hall Room 315.

The title of his talk is “Quality-Space Functionalism about Color.” The abstract appears below, and the paper is attached. Light refreshments will be served after the talk.

The event is free and open to the public, but registration is required (so we can provide refreshments). Please register using this Google form: https://forms.gle/pEUaNoejMcXDVNyg7

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

Thanks to Dr. David Pereplyotchik for arranging Dr. Berger's visit.
