Right, but our knowledge of EM radiation would be knowledge of the noumena. Science tells us that EM Radiation exists independent of our perception. Color is mind-dependent, but not electromagnetic radiation.
To be full-on Kantian, you would have to say that everything we conceive is mind-dependent with some unknowable reality out there being the source. That includes all of science.
- g0collins 9y ago> Color is mind-dependent When transiting from male to female both red and blue shifted because of the effects of hormonal changes on the eyes. When the change was happening things like the blue in the sky and red in neon signs were different than it had been just a few days before. For a few weeks I could point at the sky and say that it was the wrong blue and I wish I had written it down because now I look at the sky and can't actually remember what it looked like before. And less exciting my prescription changed dramatically and my eye color changed too. It is one thing to talk about how color is just interpreted by your brain, it is another thing to live through a shift like this that you can't ignore.
