Obviously, zombies could be behaviourally and physically much like us, although not conscious. If your zombie world can be done, then physicalism is fake. Just like importantly, the seductive conception of phenomenal awareness embodied through the zombie idea is essentially misconceived. Certainly one of this book’s two primary aims would be to enhance the incoherence from the zombie idea with the aid of an without effort appealing argument (the ‘sole-pictures argument’). Another would be to create a fresh method of understanding phenomenal awareness by exploiting two key notions: what ‘basic package’ of capacities that is necessary and sufficient for perception within the full sense which of ‘direct activity’, which, when combined with fundamental package, is essential and sufficient for perceptual awareness. These definitions may affect quite humble creatures, as well as to suitably built artefacts.
