Chalmers (David Chalmers)

David Chalmers is an influential philosopher known for his work in the philosophy of mind and consciousness. He is best known for articulating the "hard problem of consciousness," which distinguishes between the brain's physical processes and the subjective experience of being aware. While science can explain how the brain functions, Chalmers argues that it struggles to explain why and how these processes give rise to our personal experiences of feelings and perceptions. His ideas have sparked significant discussion and debate about the nature of consciousness and the relationship between mind and body.
