Dualism and secondary quality eliminativism
Philosophical Studies 128 (2):229--56 (2006)
Abstract
Frank Jackson formulated his knowledge argument as an argument for dualism. In this paper I show how the argument can be modified to also establish the irreducibility of the secondary qualities to the properties of physical theory, and ultimately "secondary quality eliminativism"- the view that the secondary qualities are physically uninstantiated.My notes
