Color Relationism and Enactive Ontology
Phenomenology and Mind November 1, 2019 Andrea Giannotta 1 citation
The enactive theory of color holds that color is neither purely subjective nor purely objective, but arises from the co-constitution of perceiver and perceived in the process of experience. This view parallels Husserl's phenomenology, which also rejects a strict subject-object duality. The paper argues that enactive color relationism offers a better alternative to both color subjectivism and objectivism. It extends this account to sensory qualities (qualia) more broadly, outlining an enactive phenomenology and ontology that situate qualities within the dynamic interaction between organism and world.
