Zombie Argument

The Zombie Argument is a philosophical idea questioning whether consciousness is just a physical process. It imagines "zombies"—beings that behave exactly like humans but lack conscious experience or feelings. If such zombies are conceivable, some argue that consciousness isn’t just about physical processes, suggesting it might involve something beyond the physical. This challenges the idea that science alone can fully explain consciousness, raising questions about the nature of subjective experience and whether it's something more than just brain activity.
