Fisicalismo científicamente compatible. La disputa entre la ciencia y el sentido común sobre la naturaleza de los colores

Abstract

Physicalism claims that colors are physical properties of physical objects. For more than three centuries this philosophical stand has been denied because it was considered not to be “scientifically serious”. In this article we offer a critical review of the history of this accusation to conclude that the apparent incompatibility between the best science and physicalism must be, at least, re-examined.
