 Levin 2000 has provided a powerful reply, on behalf of the dispositionalist, to McGinn’s argument. Her challenge is complex, highlighting the assumptions that underpin McGinn’s criticism (and has a detailed discussion of the relevance of the doctrine of Revelation). An important question seems to remain, however. In McGinn’s formulation of the phenomenological problem, there are two distinct claims, each of which is crucial: (1) Colors do not look like the sorts of dispositional properties they would have to be if the dispositional thesis were correct: “Colors turn out not to look the way they are said dispositionally to be”. (2) colors look like non-dispositional properties: when we see an object as red we see it as having a simple, monadic, local property of the object’s surface.
