About the Author :
Alex Byrne is Professor of Philosophy at MIT and the coeditor of Fact and Value: Essays on Ethics and Metaphysics for Judith Jarvis Thomson (2001) and Readings on Color, volumes 1 and 2 (1997), all published by the MIT Press.

Review :
"This admirable volume of readings is the first of a pair: the editorsare to be applauded for placing the philosophy of color exactly whereit should go, in double harness with the most recent discoveries inthe science of color and color vision. Byrne and Hilbert concentrateon the main game, the question of realism, choose well, and bring thecollection right up to date with two new essays quite as good asanything else in the volume." Keith Campbell, Challis Professor of Philosophy, University of Sydney
