David Chalmers on Consciousness
David Chalmers is a leading thinker in contemporary philosophy of mind. He is Professor of Philosophy and Director of the Center for Consciousness at Australian National University.
Chalmers is known for being an avid critic of physicalism, believing that reductive approaches to the mind fail to appreciate the fundamental nature of consciousness. He is most widely known for sparking a revival of interest in property dualism, philosophical zombies, and for his formulation of the “Hard Problem of Consciousness.”
How do you explain consciousness? David Chalmers (TED)
Different ways of thinking about what consciousness is:
- it is a fundamental aspect of universe like space, time and mass.
- it is universal. Everything is conscious to some degree (panpsychism).
- it doesn’t exist. Just an illusion arising out of complexity of a system.
