Any study or discussion of color begins with the question of its objective or subjective nature. With regard to the former, it is necessary to decide whether color is an irreducible quality in sé or a quality of objects; with regard to the latter ("color is in the eye of the beholder"), it is necessary to clarify the relationship between the phenomenology and the ontology of color. From modern times (Galileo Newton, Descartes, Locke) to more recent times, the study of color has constantly moved between these two theoretical positions, which in recent times have been represented by two opposing currents: Realism and Eliminativism (or Fictionalism).

Abstract
Any study or discussion of color begins with the question of its objective or subjective nature. With regard to the former, it is necessary to decide whether color is an irreducible quality in sé or a quality of objects; with regard to the latter ("color is in the eye of the beholder"), it is necessary to clarify the relationship between the phenomenology and the ontology of color. From modern times (Galileo Newton, Descartes, Locke) to more recent times, the study of color has constantly moved between these two theoretical positions, which in recent times have been represented by two opposing currents: Realism and Eliminativism (or Fictionalism).I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
