Being Mindful of Zombies and Phenombies

Year 2018, Volume: 1 Issue: 2, 159 - 165, 30.12.2018

Abstract

Abstract: “Philosophical zombies” often figure in the contemporary
philosophy of mind literature to argue for or against some theories of the
nature of mind and mental states. In this paper we draw on zombies to
illuminate certain aspects of our common, ordinary concepts of consciousness
and mind. We also call in, for the same purpose, the help of a hypothetical
being that we created, which we call “phenombie.”

Zombiler ve Fenombilere Zihnimizde Yer Açmak

Year 2018, Volume: 1 Issue: 2, 159 - 165, 30.12.2018

Abstract

Öz: “Felsefi zombiler” günümüz zihin felsefesi literatüründe zihinle ve
zihinsel hallerle ilgili bazı teorileri destekleme veya onlara karşı çıkma
amaçlı olarak sıkça karşımıza çıkar. Biz burada zombi kavramına umumi ve
sıradan bilinç ve zihnin nosyonlarımızın bazı yönlerini aydınlatmak için
başvuruyoruz. Aynı amaçla, kendi yaratımımız olan ve “fenombi” adını verdiğimiz
başka bir hayalî varlığın yardımından da yararlanıyoruz
