[MD] Consciousness & Moq.

John said:
The "hard problem of consciousness" that Chalmers defines is nothing more than the age ole S/O split.

dmb says:
Well, no. The hard problem is posed in order to show the inadequacies of physicalist explanations of consciousness. This physicalist view is more or less the same thing as scientific materialism or scientific objectivity, which is Pirsig's main target of attack. You know that saying wherein the enemy of my enemy is my friend? I think Chalmers and Pirsig are friends in that sense, at least.
