The Zombie Attack on the Computational Conception of Mind
Philosophy and Phenomenological Research 59 (1):41-69 (1999)
Abstract
Is it true that if zombies---creatures who are behaviorally indistinguishable from us, but no more conscious than a rock-are logically possible, the computational conception of mind is false? Are zombies logically possible? Are they physically possible? This paper is a careful, sustained argument for affirmative answers to these three questions.Author's Profile
