I wouldn’t say the extremely diverse set of essays in Chalmers’ compilation are a shining example of philosophical clarity
Oh, certainly not—it’s a sampler, and all levels of clarity and confusion present in the field are represented. I cited it to show the typical writing style of papers in philosophy (over the years, since as I recall it starts with Descartes!).
Agree with your point, though I wouldn’t say the extremely diverse set of essays in Chalmers’ compilation are a shining example of philosophical clarity. I would recommend something like Epistemology and the Psychology of Human Judgment or Philosophy and Neuroscience: A Ruthlessly Reductive Account.
