With a few exceptions, positions within academic philosophy generally receive very shallow treatment on LW, and what discussions you do find here are more rigorously addressed elsewhere. That’s not surprising, to my knowledge most LW-ers don’t have much if any background in philosophy. I’d say if you’re curious just read Chalmers’ book or Searle (not a property dualist, but provides a good critique), then you’ll know the lay of the land well enough to seek out other things on your own =)
“With a few exceptions, positions within academic philosophy generally receive very shallow treatment on LW, and what discussions you do find here are more rigorously addressed elsewhere”—yeah, not as rigourous, but forums are good for gaining a quick introduction.
