I absolutly love this continued discussion on the reality behind the idea of zombies! Maybe it's a sign of the times. Lord knows we're living through some pretty extraordinary ones.
Justin, a reader of Blog of the Living Dead, has written a fascinating response to the following question (posted on his site:):
My name is Phil, and I am studying physicalism in college right now.
Physicalism dictates that everything is physical and in a very real sense the fact that the brain is the "Sum of its parts." What Vonnegut aptly referred to as "a dog’s lunch."
Recently I have been reading a lot of material about the impossibility of zombies from the physicalist’s standpoint.
Physicalism contradicts zombiism. A zombie, which is physically the replica of a normal human, is very different from its original self mentally.
How the heck will Justin resolve these contradictions???
