Raised in the old guard, Chalmers doesn’t understand...
This amused me, given that in the 90s he was considered an outsider and an upstart, coming round here with his cognitive science, shaking things up. (” ‘The Conscious Mind’ is a stimulating, provocative and agenda-setting demolition-job on the ideology of scientific materialism. It is also an erudite, urbane and surprisingly readable plea for a non-reductive functionalist account of mind. It poses some formidable challenges to the tenets of mainstream materialism and its cognitivist offshoots” )
Not saying you’re wrong about him in that lecture. Maybe he has socialised and hardened as he gained standing. A funny cycle, in that case.
