Abstract

By reconstructing David Chalmers’ naturalistic dualism and philosophical zombie argument and the typical debates with Dennett and Searle on consciousness, this essay aims to explore the situation of Chalmers’ naturalistic dualism in the context of the prevalence of contemporary physicalist achievements and methodologies, the refutations to which it has been subjected, the developing trends in contemporary naturalistic dualism. The paper concludes that Chalmers’ naturalistic dualism can be seen as a ‘neo-Cartesian trend’ return to contemporary philosophy of mind in the context of the prominent results of neuroscience and physicalism, offering a new framework for the study of consciousness, but whether it advances the study of consciousness is a question that remains to be answered, which is an important subject to further investigation.
