Jonathan Cohen
Reviews and Awards
Honorable Mention: American Philosophical Association Book Prize 2011
"[A]dmirable and engaging book.... his book contains much new material, develops a coherent package, and provides important and thorough discussions of nearly every theory of color. The book is also fun to read. Cohen is a real color enthusiast, and this comes through on the printed page.... Cohen's book provides the most complete and sophisticated case to date that the considerable benefits of relationalism outweigh its costs. In addition, it contains important and thorough discussions of nearly every rival theory of color. Cohen presents his ideas admirably. This is the most important book on color in some time."--Adam Pautz, Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews
