Where All Knowledge Is Derived Through Colour

By Marcel Perrot

The book comprises of some dialogues between Pierrot and the three empiricists, Locke, Berkeley and Hume, and as Pierrot discusses with them about the empiricism of colour, and he contrasts his own views on colour and experience with the three empiricists separately. Firstly, there are six dialogues between Pierrot and the empiricists about colour and empiricism. And secondly I have written some dialogues of Plato and Aristotle, and as Empedocles, Democritus and Epicurus have much to say on physics and metaphysics. And because Plato and Aristotle both advocate metaphysics, and Empedocles, Democritus and Epicurus, the three of them advocate physics, and they reject metaphysics. And furthermore, Empedocles, Democritus, and Epicurus, the three of them would like to differ with Aristotle on the physics of the world.

WHERE ALL KNOWLEDGE IS

DERIVED THROUGH COLOUR

DIALOGUE BETWEEN LOCKE AND PIERROT

Note, Locke has set the foundation of all knowledge through an a posteriori method. And I have contrasted a colourist method, and I want to know whether human understanding can be a colourist way and forensic. I want to know whether the colourist method can be through the a posteriori way of our world. And so Locke teaches that all knowledge is through the a posteriori, and in contrast I teach a colourist method and way for life.

Locke, all things of this earth are perceived and

learnt in an a posteriori way and method,

And this differs to the a priori of other worlds,

as they are a priori through metaphysics,

Pierrot, yeah, all things of this earth are learnt through

colour, and where colour is a posteriori,

Locke, and all knowledge is not innate, and as knowledge

is learnt while existing throughout the earth,

Pierrot, and colour is not innate either, and as colour is

learnt empirically, and is through experience,

And as primary colour is the way of my life, my primary

colour is something I earnt through experience,

Locke, truths which are imprinted on the mind are

empirical, and are through sense and induction,

Pierrot, in the same way, truths of the mind, they are

through primary colour, and as the primary is essence,

Locke, yeah, and the propositions of our world, they are

empirical, and are grounded through the earth,

Pierrot, yeah, and the propositions which I express,

they are through my own primary colour,

Locke, yet my man, my faith is something through the

earth, and my faith is through experience,

Pierrot, yeah, my faith is through my own primary

colour, and this faith of my is through the world,

Locke, and the existence of God, He is something

which belongs to our earth, and I learn Him,

through both hearing and seeing Himself,

Pierrot, yeah, and I have own skin colour, and this skin

colouring, it applies to the existence of God,

Locke, and my virtue for this God, it is through

the experience of our world,

Pierrot, and for any man or woman, it is colour

which proves a virtue for Him the God,

Locke, and though God might be innate, He is learnt

through the experience of our world,

Pierrot, and God is learnt by way of own skin colour,

and as colour is the way and the life,

And my knowledge of God is derived through colour,

and as well, He is derived through existence,

Locke, and my memory as well, it is through the experience

of our world, and is through an a posteriori way,

Pierrot, yeah, and my memory is through colour,

and all memory is derived through colour,

Locke, yeah, and pleasure and pain, they both happen

through experiencing the life of our world,

Pierrot, yeah, and the pleasure of eating the red tomato,

the pleasure is proven through the colour red,

And pain is through colour as well, and as the black widow

spider bites, there is pain proven through the colour black,

Locke, and the ideas of my mind, they happen

through experience of our world,

Pierrot, yeah, and about the ideas of the mind, they are

through colour, and mainly through primary colour,

Locke, and the extension which I see, I will see it as the world,

Pierrot, yeah, and the extension which I see, it is through

the secondary way of colour and essence,

Locke, yet, what you say of duration, I say, it happens

through the experience of our world,

Pierrot, and while duration happens, all knowledge itself

is through colour as it durates as the essence,

Locke, the sun and moon are both known through the

experience of our earth, and both are a posteriori,

Pierrot, yeah, and both the sun and moon, they are

both derived through secondary colour,

Locke, and yet and about the infinity, it may happen

through our plan to migrate the stars and universe,

Pierrot, and through the many galaxies of our universe,

I see an infinity of secondary colour,

Locke, as we comment throughout the earth, we see an

infinity of time and through the plan of migration,

Pierrot, and the infinity of time, it happens through

an infinity of colour and essence,

Locke, and happiness is a pleasure, and is through the

experience of our world, and is through essence,

Pierrot, happiness is something bodily, and is always

through the primary colour of myself,

Locke, and both good and evil, they happen through the

experience of our world, and through way and essence,

Pierrot, and the good and evil which happens through

others, it always happens through colour,

Locke, and bodily substance is through an a posteriori as

well, and as my body develops through experience,

Pierrot, and bodily substance, it has an essence of

colour, and where I am half white for essence,

Locke, and my personal identity, it was developed

through an a posteriori way and essence,

Pierrot, yeah, and any personal identity, it will

have an essence of primary colour,

Locke, and my consciousness, it has a way through

sensing the world, and this is a posteriori,

Pierrot, and in the same way, my consciousness, it happens

through experiencing the colour of our world,

Locke, and anything which appears, it may happen

through the sense of our world,

Pierrot, yeah, and in the same way, anything which appears

is through colour, and as either primary or secondary,

Locke, and the understanding, it happens through the experience

of our world, and as the understanding is a posteriori,

Pierrot, and in the same way, the understanding I

know, it is through the colour of our world,

Locke, and qualities, they are sensed in an a

posteriori way, or through experience,

Pierrot, and in the same way, the qualities which I

sense of the world, they are through colour,

And the taste of the red tomato is a quality, and I

taste quality of the colour red throughout,

Locke, yeah, and the existence of others, I know

them through experience of our earth,

Pierrot, yeah, and the existence of others, I know them

through colour, or through primary colour,

DIALOGUE BETWEEN BERKELEY AND PIERROT

Note, in this dialogue, I contrast Berkeley and the a priori, and through my colourist method. And as Berkeley comments of seeing the percipi, I comment of always seeing colour. Either way, the percipi has a foundation of seeing through colour itself, and as colour is for seeing and interpretation.

Berkeley, when I see the world, I see an

immaterial way and essence,

Pierrot, and the immaterial which I see, is through colour

and essence, and is through perceiving colour,

Berkeley, and when I touch something, I merely touch

an idea, and the idea is always immaterial,

Pierrot, and this idea which I touch, is an idea of colour, and

when I touch the green grass, I touch the colour green,

Berkeley, and when I smell something, is there anything

which I smell, or do I smell an idea which immaterial,

Pierrot, yeah, and when I smell the yellow flower, I smell

the colour yellow and as all smells are through colour,

Berkeley, and when I hear something, I must say,

I hear merely an idea expressing itself,

Pierrot, yeah, and when I hear the black dog bark, I hear

the colour black, and as all hearing is through colour,

Berkeley, and when I taste the chocolate, what

I taste is the idea of something,

Pierrot, yeah, and when I taste the chocolate, I taste the

colour brown, and as all taste happens through colour,

Berkeley, and through sense of the world, ideas

are always perceived in a way,

Pierrot, yeah, and the ideas which I perceive, they

always have colour for seeing and essence,

Berkeley, and the ideas, they cannot exist

without me perceiving them,

Pierrot, that means, the colour which I see, then the

colours cannot exist without me seeing them,

Berkeley, and anything which I see, it will exist as

spirit, and through perceiving and sense,

Pierrot, and the spirit way of our world, I see it

all through both colour and light,

And you say, that all this colour and spirit does not

exist, and without my mind seeing and perceiving,

Berkeley, and extension, it may exist without the

mind, and where there is spirit throughout,

Pierrot, and the extension which I see, I see it

through colour in a complete way,

Berkeley, and my man, colour is something

which exists in the mind,

Pierrot, yeah, the colour which exists in my mind is primary,

and colour which is out there in the world is secondary,

Berkeley, and do you follow me, that there is

nothing material out there in the world,

Pierrot, yeah, and whether material or immaterial, everything

out there in the world, is derived through colour,

Berkeley, and any idea which I see, it cannot

exist without me seeing it,

Pierrot, and anything which I see is derived through

colour, and whether I see it or not,

Berkeley, and the motion which we see happen

within the world, we know it empirically,

And any motion which happens within our

world, it is both sufficient and valid,

Pierrot, and there is always the motion of colour, and

the colour of our world is empirically inducted,

And in the same way, the colour of our world

as inducted, is both sufficient and valid,

Berkeley, and extension, we know it through our seeing

of the world, and through an empirical way,

Pierrot, and in the same way, we see colour through extension,

and we know colour through seeing itself in the world,

Berkeley, our duration, it happens through the

experience of ourselves and the world,

Pierrot, yeah, and duration happens through both primary

colour and secondary colour moving and transcending,

Berkeley, and in a way, the secondary ideas do not exist at all,

Pierrot, in the same way as primary colour, our

secondary world of colour, it certainly exists,

Berkeley, and the world cannot exist, and

without me thinking of itself,

Pierrot, I would differ, I believe the secondary world of colour

does exist, and in the same way as primary colour,

Berkeley, and the colours of extension, they exist within the mind,

Pierrot, yeah, and I say, my primary colour, it exists in the mind,

and secondary colour, it exists out there in the world,

Berkeley, and the colours which you see, they cannot

exist without you seeing themselves,

Pierrot, and we must say, that secondary colours, they

exist without me seeing themselves in the world,

Berkeley, and does the sound of the bird chirping

happen without me hearing it,

Pierrot, I will give it, that the bird is secondary,

and that the secondary does exist,

Berkeley, and as you know, I promote an a priori

way of the mind having an understanding,

Pierrot, yeah, and my colourist way of the mind, it

has an a posteriori way for understanding,

Berkeley, and anything which I see, it will not

depend on an a posteriori, and it will always

exist a priori, and as pure and abstract,

And the chair which I see, I see it there empirically,

and through an a priori of sense and induction,

Pierrot, yeah, and the chair which I see, it is both

a posteriori, and is through colour itself,

Berkeley, and the heat which the heater radiates,

it does not exist without the mind,

Pierrot, yeah, the heat is secondary, and the secondary

exists, and the heat which radiates is through colour,

Berkeley, and yet taste as well, it cannot exist

without the mind perceiving itself,

Pierrot, as I say, the taste of something is always derived

through colour, and where colour always exists,

Berkeley, and as motion always happens within

extension, does motion exist without the mind?

Pierrot, motion is merely where colour moves, and surely,

colour is always through itself being there and existing,

Berkeley, and may I conclude, that I do favour

the doctrine that matter does not exist,

Pierrot, I agree with you that matter does not exist, and

yet colour does exist out there in the world,

And colour may exist, and through seeing and perceiving

itself, and through itself as both essence and existence,

DIALOGUE BETWEEN HUME AND PIERROT

Note, with my Humean dialogue, can our colourist method refer to both necessary connection and probability. As a colourist I must always be aware of the necessary connection of colour and probability, and when I assess another man on colour.

And as a colourist, I must follow the Humean ruling of cause and effect. Because as a colourist, I must check the effect of colour for assessment and judgement. And where cause is something I need to know, and through the colour of another man.

When I check and observe for effect, then through effect I always see colour and nature. And when I check for the cause of anything, then Hume’s ruling will mean, that colour is the cause of anything in nature.

Hume, this world which exists within, we see it and

understand it, through impressions and ideas,

Pierrot, and when I assess the colour of another,

I see both an impression and an idea,

Through impression, I see the colour of another, and

yet I want to know more, and surely the colour of

another is both the existence and idea of himself,

Hume, and when we assess another, what we see,

is either a simple or complex idea,

Pierrot, yeah, and when we assess another, the colour

of himself is either simple or complex,

Hume, yeah, and I get an impression of another man, and then

I take note of himself, and I form an idea of himself,

Pierrot, and the colour of another man is the idea of himself,

and as well, I always get an impression of himself firstly,

Hume, and, through the imagination, there is

both the impressions and the ideas,

Pierrot, and you must admit, that the imagination,

it has an essence through primary colour,

Hume, and through space and time, I see both

impressions and ideas of our world,

Pierrot, and through both space and time, I see both

human colour, and I see the colours of our world,

Hume, and whenever, out of impressions I develop

ideas, and through both others and the world,

Pierrot, and yet impressions, they are always through

colour, and we develop ideas out of colour,

Hume, and through time, I get the chance to observe

for the probability of something happening,

Pierrot, if I check for the probability of something

happening, I will look for colour as the cause,

Hume, and extension is the realm where cause

and effect will and may happen,

Pierrot, and yet the effects of our world, they are

completely through colour and essence,

Hume, and I observe the succession of our world, and everything

which happens, there always both causes and effects,

Pierrot, yeah, and the succession of our world, it

will always have colour as the cause,

Hume, and through cause and effect, we check for matter

of fact, and through the sun today, it
