摘要

根据大卫·查尔默斯(David Chalmers)提出的反对唯物主义的二维论证,僵尸的可想象性包含了主要可能性,而僵尸的主要可能性又包含了进一步的次要可能性。我认为,从僵尸的可想象性到主要可能性的转变是不合理的。如果相应的现象和微物理概念具有一致的主要意图(指所有可能世界中的相同属性),尽管它们是不同的概念,但僵尸基本上是不可能的,尽管它们是可以想象的。但是,没有充分的理由认为现象概念和微物理概念不能有一致的主要意图,尽管它们是不同的概念。正如我所论证的,这一结论来自对现象概念的特殊认知特征的反思。

Does the Conceivability of Zombies Entail Their Possibility?
According to the two-dimensional argument against materialism, developed by David Chalmers, the conceivability of zombies entails primary possibility, and the primary possibility of zombies entails further secondary possibility. I argue that the move from the conceivability to primary possibility of zombies is unjustified. Zombies are primarily impossible despite being conceivable if the corresponding phenomenal and microphysical concepts have coinciding primary intensions (refer to the same properties in all possible worlds considered as actual) despite being distinct concepts. But there is no good reason to think that phenomenal and microphysical concepts cannot have coinciding primary intensions despite being distinct concepts. As I argue, this conclusion follows from reflection on special cognitive features of phenomenal concepts.

Accordingly, we invite authors to submit articles that address issues that belong, but are not limited, to philosophy of language, philosophy of mind, philosophy of science, epistemology, metaphysics and philosophical logic.
