Nothing has Color; Color is Force Truth

The imaginations of a human being on colors have remained skeptical in many people interpretation of whether color exists in objects or not. Our minds as human being receive a lot of information in seconds, and the interpretation sometime may be influenced by our set minds in relation to what we already know. Constantly, through learning we can gain knowledge of an object or something. Additionally, the learning process may include, introduction to new or existing objects. In many cases, for instance, colors are introduced to an individual at a young age. Through such introduction, our mind captures such information and is recoded in our minds, only to be retrieved later when the information is needed.

The existence of colors on an object may be therefore an illusion as it does not exist in an object. In this thesis paper, a deeper examination is carried out on the validity of claiming that colors don’t exist through an evaluation of numerous arguments on the same through past and current studies. Through numerous studies on colors, philosophers have argued on the existence of colors in an object, especially on skeptics of color on whether it exist or not. In my view, through what we learn about colors, an interpretation of the same is usually reflected immediately we the object associated with color. In the case of a tomato as discussed by Charles Landesman, the color red is used as a sample to explain on the assumption we tend to have color. To our understanding, we even anticipate on what we expect to see through our assumptions on what color is associated with which object. In this case, the belief that tomatoes are red is skeptical as this can be criticized through the understanding our mind on the reason to which tomatoes may lack a color to be associated with (Werner p.215).

Through the use of biological science, numerous scientific explanations can be used to explain the reasons we tend to perceive, that tomatoes are red in color. Similarly, there are several cases where our brain tends to give feedback that is direct to what we want to see. In most cases, this is based on the argument that when we set our minds in particular manner, we tend to get a similar interpretation of an object.

In regards to a tomato being red, the chemical reactions of an object and the reflection of light may give a different meaning of an object. The majority of people may suggest on what they want to see, rather than the reality of an object. We tend to perceive things through our past experiences, especially on what has been learned about an object and its colors. When kinds are growing up, they are regularly told tomatoes are red in color, but their teacher fails to go beyond on why that tomato may be seen to have that color. They ignore to dig dipper, in explaining why an object may be mistaken to have a certain color while that color may not exist. In this case, kids grow knowing that an object has certain colors while in reality it’s not the case (Alan p.132).

The human mind has the storage the storage capacity to receive more inputs but at the same time do the interpretation and give a feedback instantly. Through such a case, the various color taught at an early age may remain relevant when we need such information. Frequently, through learning, we regularly tend to reflect on what we understand, but act out of ignorance when giving our response. We fail to ask ourselves deeper questions, what is commonly known as the second thought” on why we believe that our imaginations are right. Through that we tend to have a tendency to argue that a particular concern known to us is correct. Frequently, the presence of natural light plays a key role in the interpretation of colors. Through this light, our eyes can capture such information on the object including the colors of that object. The brain that is our “micro-processer” then pick the information but give an interpretation that can be influenced by other factors such as our imagination and understanding towards an object. Our brains, therefore, tend to give an interpretation of what is visible in our conscious mind but with an act of ignorance we fail to dig deeper into why that night be the case. Biological studies, for instance, help us understand the deeper certain way of reasoning and understanding concerning particular beliefs. At the same time, we also tend to believe so much on what we may seem to know (Alan p.132).

And eventually through such a time we base our argument on the fact that what we know is that which we are used or either what we have heard it be. Our subconscious minds also play a significant role in the process of visualizing and reasoning about the existing images that we have either seen or studied before. Through such, we tend to ‘remind’ our brain on what we have learned before including by associating the object with creating colors.

In real life situation, both human and other animals have certain visual powers especially in seeing and in the interpretation of what we want to see. In this situation, I use the case of a blind man who has never seen before and associate to how they live in a world of illusion without the presence of sight. Mostly, a blind person without a sight may have no experience at all with colors, but in regular cases they can know what they need to use and how to trace their way to certain places without the use colors on building. In such a case, they live in the world without the colors but are still able to have an understanding of numerous objects in their surroundings. It is, therefore, justifiable to argue that nothing has color especially if such case study is relied upon. In fact, our interpretation towards colors may vary with other animals that have sight. In analyzing for instance bats, many of such tend to have poor vision during the day, but in contrary that usually tend to change at night where the bat can navigate over the night especially for its food. In such as case, bats rarely use their sight to identify colors, but rather use their sight to navigate through objects to find food and maneuver from one point to the other. This explains therefore that color doesn’t exist but rather the object that we, humans tend to associate with colors. In real life situation, individuals always tend to ignore small details concerning particular objects, but we allow their prejudice to control their understanding on the realities of real life situation (Werner p.215).

Constantly, ignore other disciplines such as the application of sciences in the visual processes especially when analyzing colors. We constantly believe in what we are told in our learning processes such a certain object has a certain color. But if other discipline were to be applied, it would rather change the understanding about colors as this would interact out perception. A good case for instance if having an object well known by an individual by its colors introduced to a different type of light. In this case, the object usually tends to adopt another color from its usual known color. Such a case gives a sign that the existence of colors is skeptical. Many people tend to explain about objects using their colors. But little is known to them on why such as argument would be true not to believe in. Many people fail to ask themselves on why they seem to see colors on the object, what could be the cause and the effect of such a view on objects. But through the scientific way of evaluating the whole process of our, perception of objects, in many cases we are influenced to believe that whatever we see or understand is real.

In any case, for instance, when somebody’s looks at the sky may argue that the sky is blue but in a real sense other factors considered this could just be an illusion to solve. It’s therefore a problem that many human beings hate to reason beyond, the major cause for the sky to viewed blue whereas in real sense if proper analysis is carried out this may turn out to be different case. Occasionally, our reasoning tends to be based on what we want a brain to do for us. We, therefore, trust and tend to have confidence in any interpretation our minds make on any object. At the same time we also usually tend to formulate our understanding towards relevant situations. Through philosophers such as Aristotle, the understanding of numerous illusion and issues that dictates of way of reasoning is necessary for individuals to consider the fact that sometimes we may tend to visualize things that in real realm does not exist (Günther p.190)

The metaphysics, in this case, gives a view of the norms towards whether we want our brains to see and record, but at the same time we fail to question the recorded information in our mind on whether it’s a varied thought r not. In such as case, for instance, our brains are limited to review different matters of concerns such as knowing if the reality in life applies to the object. Additionally its vital to analyze any of our perceptions and belief keenly before making any judgment on an object by using its colors for instance because in such a case there may be misunderstood especially with the thinker on what it means to us in real life.

Conclusion

The human mind in most cases is a reflected of what we feed it with, and this is seen when people argue about an issue in metaphysics. To believe that colors exist would sound out of context as not every person who sees these colors on objects in real life situation, but they tend to argue about the colors from what they have either learned in life concerning colors. It’s also crucial to evaluate various arguments by different philosophers as this would give us a clear understanding of the real life situation. Taking our minds through the skeptical way of reasoning is also is necessary as these open our minds to different levels of understanding.
