On the Brain Science Podcast #5 I talked about Consciousness and mentioned that David Chalmers is a proponent of a modern version of dualism and also quite concerned with what he calls the hard problem, which is explaining the subjective nature of consciousness, which he has called qualia. If you would like to hear him explain some of these ideas himself, I suggest you listen to Jason Rennie’s interview of David Chalmers on The Sci Phi Show Outcast #36.
One thing that surprised me in the interview was that he actually defined consciousness as subjective awareness.
I don’t share Chalmers views on these issues, but I think is a good interview because Jason always lets his guest speak for themselves.
