Abstract

Building on earlier papers on the same theme, Chalmers argues here for a dualism which is epiphenomenalist, yet naturalistic. After establishing the elements of his position, Chalmers explores numerous applications, including arguments against missing and inverted qualia; the congeniality of his view to panpsychism, functionalism, and artificial intelligence, and even the proper interpretation of quantum physics.
