Product Description

Product Description

This book is awarded the 1986 Johnsonian Prize in Philosophy. This expanded edition of C. L. Hardin's ground-breaking work on colour features a new chapter, 'Further Thoughts: 1993', in which the author revisits the dispute between colour objectivists and subjectivists from the perspective of the ecology, genetics, and evolution of colour vision, and brings to bear new data on individual variability in colour perception.

4.0 out of 5 stars snappy title, 5 April 2009
By Michael Scuffil (Germany) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is not a bad book. It does what the first half of the title promises, i.e. explain colour to people whose interest is philosophical or general rather than scientific, and it does so in comprehensible language. However by far the most interesting parts of it are based on work done by Leo Hurvich and published by the latter as "Color Vision". This debt is acknowledged. But even for philosophers, I find Hurvich's book easier to read, not least because it is longer and he has more space to explain himself. But Hurvich too writes in an easy-to-understand manner. Given the choice, I'd take his book (which is not now easy to find).
