Keith Allen

Keith Allen is a Senior Lecturer at the University of York, specializing in philosophy with a focus on color theory, perception, and early modern philosophy. He previously held the Jacbosen Research Fellowship at the Institute of Philosophy in London. His work bridges philosophical inquiry into color's ontological status and its implications for mind-world relationships, consciousness, and scientific representation. Allen's notable publication, *A Naive Realist Theory of Colour* (Oxford University Press, 2017), challenges skepticism about color's existence, arguing for a realist perspective. His research also engages with phenomenology and broader metaphysical questions.
