Chalmers's Naturalistic Dualism

The problem of consciousness is a hot topic in the study of spiritual philosophy in recent years.David Chalmers,a famous American philosopher of the mind,is a symbolic figure in the study of consciousness,His division of consciousness and his theory of consciousness-the dualism of naturalism is a hot topic for many philosophers in the field of spiritual philosophy and other fields.This article interprets his thoughts from his division of consciousness,his supervenience thoughts,the theory of consciousness-the dualism of naturalism,and the theory of psychological physics,which explains the problem of consciousness.There are four c hapters in this paper.In the first chapter,we el aborate the background of t he development of contemporary spiritual philosophy at Chalmers' dualism of naturalism and the process of his theory?The development of contemporary spiritual philosophy has gone from the theory of functionalism to the mind,from the d evelopment of proposition attitude to explore the intention of the position,to focus on the entity to focus on the attributes,emphasizing the consciousness of spiritual philosophy in the center,these diachronic and a total of The process of intertwining with the development of time,and ultimately invariably on the issue of consciousness to study or resort to awareness problems.In this context,Chalmers brainstorming,serious research and sci entific treatment of consci ousness,put forward the idea of "simple problem" and "difficult problem",called on everyone to seriously deal with the problem of consc iousness,and advocated to focus on the "Difficult problem ".The so-called "simple problem" is able to use cognitive science approach to deal with the phenomenon of consciousness can be used to do the interpretation of physical terms.But "difficult problems" resist these methods,it is about individual experience,can also be called "phenomenological" or "perceived nature",Chalmers called "conscious experience" or "experience".After the division of consciousness,Chalmers argues that physicalism is wrong and presents his naturalistic dualism.He believes that consciousness is the natural thing of the world,and it is not a transcendental unknowable.He objected to the mystery of the idea,advocated the use of scientific methods to explain the consciousness.He argues that the consciousness is naturally and not logically attached to physics through the argument of the accompanying sexual relations of consciousness,so that the consciousness has an important position on the ontology,and the theory of consciousness should be a kind of dualism.He calls it "dualism of naturalism".The dualism of naturalism is the "fashion name" of Chalmers' consciousness theory,and he has been misunderstood and opposed by this novel name.But t his is no t the most opposing place,because the name,after al l,people feel counterintuitive.In the later chapters,his interpretation of the theory of c onsciousness is the key to criticism.Chalmers can confi dently suggest that his n aturalistic dualism is lar gely due to his study of t he supervenience thought.The second chapter elaborates the logical basis of his theory of consciousness-the supervenience thought.In c ontemporary philosophy,the accompanying thought was first ap plied in the field of morality,and Mohr described in his essay some sort of dep endence of moral and non-moral attributes,which was later called supervenience.The merit of the accompanying discussion of this merit should be attributed to R.Hale.He argues that value terms such as " good" are a n oun about the accompanying attributes.Davidson and Jaegwon Kim have improved the status of superveni ence in spiritual philosophy.Davidson advocated the use of accompanying ideas to explain the problem of mind and body,that mind and body has a dependency.Jaegwon Kim improves the accompanying ideas to the general significance of the high degree of philosophy,and makes a de tailed analysis and classification about the concept of the accompanying ideas.Chalmers keenly observes the importance of t he accompanying nature to e xplain the di fficult problem of consci ousness,believes that the "same" relationship of traditional philosophy is t he greatest obstacle to the interpretation of cons ciousness.He introduces the accompanying thought into the theory of consciousness and provides an effective logical framework for exp laining the "difficult problem".He di vides the entitlements into local and integral succinct,natural and logical.He argues that the relationship between consciousness and physics is not the same relationship but the accompanying relationship.What is more important is that he is not consciously attached to the physical but naturally attached to the physical.Chalmers' study of the accompanying problem has led him to succeed in avoiding the study of the "identity" of philosophy,which ensures that he is on the way to construct a scientific consciousness theory.In the third chapter,we elaborate another important content of Chalmers' naturalistic dualism-the law of psychophysics.He put forward the principles of psychological physics has three principles,namely,the principle of structural consistency,organizational invariance principle and information on both sides of the principle.The first two principles are non-essential principles and a higher level principle.Because they are involved in the "awareness" "organization" are m ore complex,advanced concepts.He a rgues that the principle of information is the basic principle of consciousness theory and the most speculative part of his theory.In this principle,he puts his own information ontology based on Shannon's information theory,which holds that the internal state of information is the phenomenon,and the external state is physical.In short,experience comes from internal information,physics comes from outside information.This is Chalmers most "magic" content,even he himself has an open attitude about whether the content is correct or not.The above is a brief introduction and description of t he main ideas of Chalmers,his qua ntum mechanics,strong artificial intelligence ideas are not specifically introduced here,when necessary,will simply mention and explain.Next,that is the last part of the article.I will set a simple interpretation of his consciousness and evaluation,in order to bring some help to let everyone understand his ideas.The fourth chapter is the interpretation of Chalmers' accompanying logical framework,naturalism dualism and the law of psychophysics.His accompanying framework is beyond reproach,which is a logical basis for the scientific interpretation of the framework of the consciousness.So that Chalmers' theory of consciousness do not talk about consciousness in traditional philosophy,and do not fall into the stereotypes of agnosticism and mystery,which make the consciousness can drive in the scientific broad road.In a word,his naturalistic dualism has an ontological novelty,but he can no longer further explain that it reduces the accuracy of his theory.His theory of psychophysics is a bold innovation,but as he himself says,it is a bold assumption that its correct composition is as much as it may be.This inevitably makes us feel that his theory is a scientific "metaphysics".
