- red75prime 8y agoSuch approach is called arguments a priori. Descartes. He can conceive non-existence of material world, but cannot conceive non-existence of self, therefore his consciousness doesn't belong to the physical realm. Chalmers. He can conceive non-existence of his own consciousness, while physical world stays the same, therefore consciousness doesn't supervene on physical properties and physicalism is false. R. Brown. [0] He argues that it is equally possible to conceive non-existence of one's own non-physical consciousness, while physical and non-physical parts of the world stay exactly the same. Therefore a priory arguments can't be a basis for deciding the truth of physicalism or dualism. Dennett thinks that what we perceive as ourselves and the world around us are illusions and do not deserve the title of "hard problem". And so on.
