Chalmers's Anti-Physicalism in The Conscious Mind
I think the formulation of Chalmers' anti-physicalism was a little misleading, in that it was previously formulated in terms of irreducibility. Many philosophers (Donald Davidson is a famous example) hold that physicalism is true but deny that mental states like "the experience of awareness" are reducible to physical states. (They usually hold that physical states supervene on mental states instead, in that physical properties necessarily set mental ones; Chalmers denies this, making him an antiphysicalist. But discussion of the concept of supervenience may make the article unnecessarily complex.)

Since I think identification is more straightfoward, and any physicalist I can think of holds that mental states are at least token-identical with physical ones, I edited the article along those lines.

Contradictory sentence
"Upon winning, Koch presented Chalmers with a case of fine wine."

This sentence claims that Koch was the winner, but it implies that Chalmers was the winner.

I hope someone knowledgeable about this subject, but also fluent in the English language, can fix this. 2601:200:C082:2EA0:E89A:BDCB:D077:E35D (talk) 05:22, 30 January 2024 (UTC)
