Бесполезные зомби?
Финиковый компот. 2024. № 19. С. 18–20.
The text presents answers to several short questions about the zombie argument. After considering in what sense zombies are conceivable, the author concludes that the only thing that can be safely inferred from the argument is the logical consistency of zombie concept, from which neither the nomological nor the metaphysical possibility of such beings can be inferred. For this reason, as well as the possibility of offering a mirror anti-zombie argument, the simply coherent notion becomes useless for solving the problem of the ontological status of subjective experience, since it cannot be used to prove one side's position.

Clarity of knowledge and reasoning is necessary in many cases. Yet vagueness in scientific thinking related to surprise, curiosity, "ability to engage with not-knowing" (de Freitas) and abductive reasoning is also a crucially important source of scientific creativity which supplements combinatorial logic when dealing with the already known. Starting from studies by C. S. Peirce ...

In his main works, René Descartes, in addition to such an impressive metaphysical construction, over and over again gives promises of happiness, which must certainly accompany the study of philosophy according to a new model.

We use interfaces to disconnect from the situation around us, from the persistent experience of the outside world, from our neighbors. It is this ability of interfaces to legitimize “absence” that is usually overlooked in their analysis, as the emphasis is on concentration, management, and control. In reality, interfaces are not so much pragmatic and ...

Sociological texts on zombies are mostly interested in human problems (capitalism, pop culture, etc), not in zombies as such. Zombies as a specific form of (non) life remain a blindspot for sociologists.

The article is devoted to the question of the compatibility between the illusionist theory of consciousness
and the widely accepted sentientist approach to the justification of moral status. Illusionism denies

they exist due to a systematic introspective distortion. If phenomenal consciousness does not ...

Illusionists have proposed an explanation for our tendency to make phenomenal judgements, attributing this disposition to introspective illusion that emerge from the functioning of the human brain. However, a crucial aspect of the illusionist approach is that such an illusion is precisely dispositional and does not necessarily lead to actual beliefs about qualia. A critique ...

The illusionist theory of consciousness denies the existence of the ‘phenomenal’ properties widely thought to render experience conscious. Central to the illusionist approach is what we call the distortion thesis — the claim that introspective mechanisms systematically misrepresent neural processes in a way that strongly inclines us to judge that they have phenomenal properties, creating ...

Согласно иллюзионистскому тезису об искажении, интроспекция искажает сложные физические свойства как простые феноменальные и создает иллюзию феноменальности. В докладе рассмотрено, какие модели искажения подходят для иллюзионизма. Эти паттерны предлагаются в связи с тремя характеристиками: позитивность, концептуальность и рассеиваемость. Позитивное искажение – это репрезентация отсутствующего на самом деле феноменального сознания. Негативное искажение представляет собой упрощенную или ...
