7374 | Light wavelengths entering the eye are only indirectly related to object colours [Dennett] |
Full Idea: The wavelengths of the light entering the eye are only indirectly related to the colours we see objects to be. | |
From: Daniel C. Dennett (Consciousness Explained [1991], 12.2) | |
A reaction: This is obviously bad news for naïve realism, but I also take it as good support for the primary/secondary distinction. I just can't make sense of anyone claiming that colour exists anywhere else except in the brain. |
