I argue in this paper that the existence of
sorites series
of color patches – series of color patches arranged so that the patches on each end look different in color though no two adjacent patches do – shows that the relation of
same phenomenal character as is not a transitive relation. I then argue that the intransitivity of
same phenomenal character as conflicts with certain versions of
intentionalism, the view that an experience
s phenomenal character is exhausted, or fully determined by its intentional content. Lastly, I consider various objections to the arguments and reply to them.
