But are the things we see around us really colored, or do they only look that way because of the effects of light rays on our eyes and brains? Is color somehow \"unreal\" or \"subjective\" and dependent on our human perceptions and the conditions under which we see things? \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Distinguished scholar Barry Stroud investigates these and related questions in \u003cem\u003eThe Quest for Reality\u003c\/em\u003e. In this long-awaited book, he examines what a person would have to do and believe in order to reach the conclusion that everyone's perceptions and beliefs about the color of things are \"illusions\" and do not accurately represent the way things are in the world as it is independently of us. Arguing that no such conclusion could be consistently reached, Stroud finds that the conditions of a successful unmasking of color cannot all be fulfilled. The discussion extends beyond color to present a serious challenge to many other philosophical attempts to discover the way things really are. A model of subtle, elegant, and rigorous philosophical writing, this study will attract a wide audience from all areas of philosophy.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBarry Stroud\u003c\/strong\u003e is Mills Professor of Metaphysics and Epistemology at the University of California, Berkeley, and author of \u003cem\u003eHume\u003c\/em\u003e (1977) and \u003cem\u003eThe Significance of Philosophical Scepticism\u003c\/em\u003e (1984).\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 256\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.77 x 8.9 x 6.46 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e March 14, 2002\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47348536672505,"sku":"9780195151886","price":154.8,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/ELGi2HTXMG9780195151886_843aa387-7b82-4780-b19d-8da7a4e13630.webp?v=1769774559","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/the-quest-for-reality-subjectivism-the-metaphysics-of-colour-paperback-2","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
