The Red and the Real: An Essay on Color Ontology

The Red and the Real offers a new approach to longstanding philosophical puzzles about what colors are and how they fit into the natural world. Jonathan Cohen argues for a role-functionalist treatment of color--a view according to which colors are identical to certain functional roles involving perceptual effects on subjects. Cohen first argues (on broadly empirical grounds) for the more general relationalist view that colors are constituted in terms of relations between objects, perceivers, and viewing conditions. He responds to semantic, ontological, and phenomenological objections against this thesis, and argues that relationalism offers the best hope of respecting both empirical results and ordinary belief about color. He then defends the more specific role functionalist-account by contending that the latter is the most plausible form of color relationalism.

Gives architects the vision and skills needed to take advantage of the new communications technologies. The Internet is starting to have a profound effect on the building industry. It's not about computers: it's about communication. Fundamental changes in the way that architects, clients, and builders communicate with one another have already begun, yet few architects have discovered all the creative opportunities of this new medium. Jonathan Cohen has introduced thousands of design professionals to the potential of the Internet and the skills of Web site creation in seminars. Here he shows architects, engineers, contractors, building owners, and planners how to use the design skills they already possess to develop and implement an Internet strategy for their firms. Readers will learn how to integrate text, images, video, and other media in interactive Web sites for project management and design collaboration. A dedicated Web site will supplement the book with examples, bookmarks, technical data, and other resources. 100 illustrations

Diverging from the vituperative debates between the "Freud bashers" and the orthodox Freudians, this in-depth investigation of psychoanalysis exposes Freud's specious background assumptions in biology, sociology, anthropology, linguistics, and moral and social philosophy in order to develop an alternative practice that challenges authoritarian traditions and fosters individual freedom and responsible action in the world.
Jonathan Cohen was raised in New York, studied physical chemistry at Yale University, and earned his M.D. at UCLA. He has practiced psychiatry and psychoanalysis for over twenty-five years. He lectures widely, and his work has been published in the International Journal of Psychoanalysis, the Journal of the American Academy of Psychoanalysis, and the American Journal of Psychotherapy.
