	Book review of David Chalmers
		Chalmers contends that the mind is more than just conscious experience, and by this he probably means that there is more in the brain than just consciousness ("mind" is an ambigous term, and some probably use it interchangeably with "consciousness", in which case Chalmers' statement would be a contradiction in terms).
		Chalmers does not rule out "monism",t he theory that there is only one substance; he only rules out that the one substance of this world is matter as we know it with the properties we currently know.
		Chalmers' arguments are adorned with lots of subtleties for philosophers, but Chalmers is certainly aware that those philosophical subtleties tend to annoy readers from other disciplines (and tend to age badly).

	UANews.org \| Regents' Professor David Chalmers Preeminent Philosopher in Consciousness Studies (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-06)
		At the relatively youthful age of 37, Chalmers has carved out a niche for himself as the preeminent philosopher in the emerging field of consciousness studies.
		That was the year several UA faculty members, led by Stuart Hameroff and Alfred Kaszniak, organized a conference that became the landmark event for consciousness studies, where he spoke about the "hard problems" that the study of consciousness raises.
		Chalmers also directs the Center for Consciousness Studies at the UA, an interdisciplinary group that draws faculty from cognitive sciences, neuroscience, psychology and other social sciences, medicine, and the arts and humanities, as well as philosophy.

	The Matrix as Metaphysics by David Chalmers: review by Peter B Lloyd
		Chalmers says that "the picture is strange and surprising" but that is only because he is failing to make explicit that there are two separate language-games, and that the assertion of the table and chairs' existence is valid only within one of the games.
		Chalmers' thesis that statements and beliefs within the Matrix are true and on an equal footing with those outside the Matrix leads to a mess of confusion over proper nouns.
		Chalmers is in a pickle here, because his logic requires him to insist on the envatted person saying "virtual action" and "virtual friend", and yet he knows that this will cause problems when real brains move between operating in the Matrix world and the outer world.

	The Fantasy of First-Person Science
		Now Chalmers has objected (in the debate) that this “behavioristic” treatment of belief is itself question-begging against an alternative vision of belief in which, for instance, “having a phenomenological belief doesn’t involve just a pattern of responses, but often requires having certain experiences.” (personal correspondence, 2/19/01).
		Chalmers and his zombie twin are heterophenomenological twins: when we interpret all the data we have, we end up attributing to them exactly the same heterophenomenological worlds.
		Chalmers seems to think that conducting surveys of his audiences, to see what proportion can be got to declare their allegiance to the Zombic Hunch, yields important data.

	David Chalmers: the hard problem of consciousness and the brain.
		Chalmers is careful to explain that he doesn't mean the 'easy' problem is trivial, just nothing like as mind-boggling as qualia, the redness of red, the ineffably subjective aspect of experience.
		Chalmers is surely a dualist, because he believes in two kinds of fundamental stuff, and he is an epiphenomenalist, because he believes our thoughts and feelings have no real influence on the world.
		Chalmers sees a kind of harmony between his views and one of the possible interpretations of quantum theory.

		David Chalmers is currently Professor of Philosophy at the University of California at Santa Cruz, and as of January 1999, he will be Professor of Philosophy and Associate Director of the Center for Consciousness Studies at the University of Arizona.
		Chalmers: Even when I was studying mathematics, physics, and computer science, it always seemed that the problem of consciousness was about the most interesting problem out there for science to come to grips with.
		Chalmers: Well, I take materialism, or physicalism, to be the thesis that the only fundamental properties and laws in nature are those characterized by physics: space, time, mass, charge, and so on, and the various laws governing them.

	Molecular Revolution: David Chalmers on 'Experience' and 'Consciousness'
		So I've perused David Chalmers's "Facing Up to the Problem of Consciousness" (1995), which is a sort of cornerstone article in the field.
		Chalmers states that hardest part in discussing consciousness is discussing the problem of experience: namely, why we experience things at all.
		This is probably why Chalmers is considered by analytic philosophers to be one of the few remaining dualists around.

	All In The Mind - 10/08/2003: David Chalmers on the Big Conundrum: Consciousness
		David Chalmers is on the Board of the Association for the Scientific Study of Consciousness and he regularly brings big thinkers from around the world together on his desert campus on Tuscon, Arizona to discuss and debate his great passion for big ideas with difficult, or even impossible, answers.
		Dave Chalmers: Doug had interests in everything from the study of language to the study of creativity, to humour, to mathematics, we’d have a workshop one weekend on jokes and how you analyse the structure of a joke.
		Dave Chalmers: I don’t see it that way, I mean the reason is we are used to the idea that in science you’ve got to take some things as basic and irreducible, you don’t get science for nothing, there are some aspects of the world you’ve got to take as basic.

	David Chalmers. Backfire: How the Ku Klux Klan Helped the Civil Rights Movement African American Review - Find Articles
		David Chalmers is the author of Hooded Americanism: The History of the Ku Klux Klan, the third edition of which was published in 1987.
		It is the fourth "story" that most confuses Chalmers's purpose, as stated in his subtitle: He moves beyond the Ku Klux Klan to discuss-perhaps too briefly--the 50,000 or so "organized racial supremacists" in the United States, their influence extending a "significant way beyond their numbers" (146).
		As Chalmers puts it, "In the changing world of the 1960s, doing what Klansmen liked to do best helped bring about federal intervention, new national civil rights laws, trials in less sympathetic federal courts, and, eventually, guilty verdicts from local juries" (40-41).

	Psybertron Asks » David Chalmers Consciousness
		Chalmers name-drops an impressive list of acknowledgments, but is brave enough to point out that Hofstadter (his original mentor) and Dennett largely disagree with him.
		I think he overhypes the exciting mysetry angle, but he is right to distinguish the hard problem (the subjective “quality” of consciousness) from the easy problem (the physical “causality” of senses and actions), and in doing so admits to preserving an unfashionable duality.
		Sadly none of those references makes it to Chalmers’ bibliography - but nothing new there - there is an academic mainstream that insulates itself from what it sees as non-academics.

	Amazon.com: The Conscious Mind: In Search of a Fundamental Theory (Philosophy of Mind Series): Books: David J. Chalmers (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-06)
		Chalmers argues persuasively and eloquently that standard reductive approaches in cognitive science and in philosophy of mind inevitably address only the easier problems associated with consciousness while ignoring the hard and central problem of explaining the phenomenal ("what it's like") qualities of experience--and that there is no hope of explaining these features reductively....
		Chalmers is a declared property dualist (it is not terribly important to know the distinction between property or substance or emergent dualists.
		Chalmers has tried to write a book that is accessible to those unfamiliar with the subject; however, he notes that some technical sections will be very difficult for them to follow.

	Review, Winter 1997 - David Chalmers
		At a national conference in 1994, philosopher David Chalmers proposed that consciousness also belongs on the list.
		Chalmers adroitly described a view that an increasing number of scientists, philosophers, psychologists, computer scientists, and others have pondered in recent years--to understand consciousness we must look beyond the physical processes of the brain.
		Chalmers readily acknowledges that these problems are quite complex and may take a century or more to resolve.
