The world is composed of one substance (physical), yet two properties: physical and mental -zombie argument -knowledge argument |
|
|
Zombie Argument |
Against physicalism 1) according to physicalism, all things in our world are physical (including consciousness) 2) if physicalism is true, a metaphysical world in which all physical things are the same. 3) if we can conceive a world indistinguishable from our own but without consciousness (zombie world) it follows that such a world is metaphysically possible 4) therefore, physicalism is false |

Someone who has complete physical knowledge about another conscious being might lack how it feels to have the experiences of them. |
