The P-Zombie Argument →


Writer

Suzi Travis

Summary

Suzi Travis explores the philosophical zombie thought experiment, a compelling argument against physicalism - the idea that consciousness can be fully explained by the physical world. She unpacks three key questions: What exactly is a philosophical zombie? Why might the zombie argument seem compelling? And what are the main objections? Through this insightful analysis, Travis highlights the deep divide between reductive materialist perspectives and those that posit consciousness as fundamentally non-physical, underscoring the enduring puzzles surrounding the nature of subjective experience.
