| Summary | Many philosophers and scientists have some truly bizarre beliefs. But undoubtedly, the denial of consciousness is the most bizarre. Indeed, I don't really understand what the consciousness deniers are really saying. That no-one literally ever has any conscious experiences? No visual experiences, no thoughts, no pains, no hopes, no despair etc? Surely not. But if they don't mean this, what do they mean? I get the impression they are playing games with words and are not saying anything substantive |
