Nagel's 'What is it like to be a bat?':    â˘Â What is it Like to be a Bat? - the ha... Â
This is a lecture video about a short article by Amy Kind, wherein she explains David Chalmers' famous Zombie argument against physicalism. A "zombie" is a philosophical term for a creature that is micro-physically identical to a normal human being, but who doesn't have any consciousness. The argument, briefly and roughly, is that such a creature seems conceivable, which means that such a creature is metaphysically possible. If zombies are possible, then consciousness cannot be identical with any physical state of affairs, meaning that physicalism is false. This video lecture is part of an introductory philosophy course.

When you wrote "garbage ankles" I was like "where tf is this going" - turns out it's a FANTASTIC analogy!
Your videos are awesome!

Under physicalism, If a zombie had the exact same molecules in the brain then his conscious experience would be the same. The fact that one can conceive of a concept of it, only means that ones understanding of consciousness presupposes that physicalism is false.

If this guy was my ethics and philosophy teacher in secondary school, i would have a PHD by now

I would attack the zombie argument at step 1. A zombie copy of you would answer probing questions about its subjective experience exactly as you would. Yet itâs not having any subjective experience from which to draw upon for its answers. This is inconceivable.

Thank you so much for making these videos! They really help me to understand theories and arguments that are completely foreign to me otherwise

Such an interesting concept I've heard about before, but I love the breakdown you give these topics beyond surface level!

Useful video, thanks!
My objection is to premise #1: if conscious states are self-aware states, and an organism is interacting with its own thoughts about itself in order to generate its behaviors, then a zombie wouldn't act in the same way as a conscious person since it wouldn't have access to that behavioral feedback that consciousness generates.

I'm currently failing my philosophy course in college and your video just helped me understand so much! I'm currently writing a paper and will be linking your video for the professor. Thank you!

A five sided triangle can't be imagined because it violates the definition of what a triangle is. I can imagine a five sided figure that I could say was a triangle.

I don't know much about philosophy but your videos are great, I'm just a biotechnology student who wants to know more about philosophy, so thank you very much sir.

Excelent work! I'm really thankful for your lectures.

Because I am a random viewer (not following the lectures in series), I got a little lost. But I think the presenter (lecturer) is brilliant and in the end I was able to make sense of it and simply loved it.
I will tactfully throw this Zombie argument into a social conversation some day to earn some social points.

Keep making these videos!! You are helping me so much and I need you to keep going đ Can you make a video of Frank Jacksonâs view ?

There is a huge problem with this argument
How do you know that "zombie" ("clone" would be a better term) does not have consciousness?

Great series on philosophy of mind. I have a video request. Could you please make a video explaining the different versions of dualism (property, substance, interactionism)?
|
Wow thank you so much for this! This is so well put and you make it easy to understand! When will you start making theology videos?

Surely this is a circular argument. By imagining an identical 'zombie' can exist you are assuming that consciousness is not produced by physical processes, then using the imagined zombie to prove that consciousness is not a physical process. (Great series of videos by the way - I'm hooked!)
