Color: Ontological Status and Epistemic Role : Ontological Status and Epistemic Role

In this book the complex impact of color action on the organism is discussed. It is shown that the perception of color depends on the action of irritants on other sensor systems and, vice versa, the action of color may exert exciting or inhibiting influence on the perception of sounds or smells. The facts of mutual influence of the sensor systems force us to consider not only a single observation but the entire experience as a continuous flow of sensations which is formulated as the empirical monism principle. This book proposes the solutions of these problems from the point of view of perception's activity and continuity. The physical properties of color and its influence on the organism -- The source of the myths about experience : the principle of the being and thinking identity
