- **Event Description**: with Elay Schech, PhD, professor of Philosophy and Michael Watkins, PhD, professor of Philosophy and department chair, College of Liberal Arts

How do we know what color is? Is color a feature of the world itself, or is it created through perception? Drawing from their book “The Metaphysics of Color,” Auburn University philosophers Michael Watkins and Elay Shech explore the fundamental questions that have fascinated scientists, artists and philosophers for centuries. They examine how color shapes our understanding of reality and challenge audiences to reconsider whether colors exist independently of those who perceive them. 

Presented in conjunction with the work of artist Anna Kunz, whose paintings and installations investigate how color, light and spatial relationships influence human experience, this program offers a unique opportunity to consider color from both artistic and philosophical perspectives.
