Zombies and Consciousness

Zombies would be physically and behaviourally just like us, but not conscious - a strange idea which is currently highly influential in the philosophy of mind. In this clear, readable, and entertaining book, Robert Kirk argues that the zombie idea reflects a fundamentally mistaken way of thinking about consciousness. He sets out both to show why there couldn't be zombies, and to present a strikingly original new argument about the true nature of conscious experience.

Review from previous edition This difficult book richly rewards reading and rereading. My review does no justice to its breadth of discussion and detail of argumentation...Kirk has convinced me. Zombies pose no threat to materialism.
