The Journal of Consciousness Studies Symposium on Todd C. Moody's "Conversations with Zombies"
In seeking to explore the elusive nature of consciousness, philosophers have sometimes resorted to "thought experiments," much as physicists do when thinking about the enigmas of relativity. Todd C. Moody, associate professor in philosophy at St. Joseph's University in Philadelphia, recently contributed a paper to The Journal of Consciousness Studies <http://www.zynet.co.uk/imprint> in which he proposed such a thought experiment. Professor Moody's ideas sparked a lively debate in the on-line discussion forum of the Journal, and led to a published Symposium <http://www.zynet.co.uk/imprint/jcs_2_4.html> on the subject of his paper which was entitled, "Conversations with Zombies" . (JCS, 1, (2), pp. 196-200, available at <http://www.zynet.co.uk/imprint>)
