“…Under contemporary usage, “secondary” qualities are those that are mind‐dependent, with color being the prime example. In light of this, color ontology has become a major topic in its own right in the philosophy of perception (Chirimuuta, 2020), and it is not unusual to develop theories of color ontology that are then generalized to other, non‐visual examples of secondary qualities like musical pitch or odors (e.g., Isaac, 2014). Some material properties may be secondary qualities as well.…”

Here we discuss some of the challenges that material perception raises and argue that further philosophical thought should be directed to how we see materials.
