Title: The Challenge of Philosophical Zombies: An Evaluation of Chalmers’s Argument Against Materialism/Physicalism

Prompt
What are philosophical zombies? Present and explain Chalmers’s zombie argument (pp.388-389). According to Chalmers, how does the possibility of philosophical zombies challenge or raise a problem for materialism/physicalism? Do you find his argument convincing? Why or why not? (To clarify, the task is to give your evaluation of Chalmers’s argument — not to present Dennett’s.)
