Synopsis

Emilian Mihailov explores the naturalization of moral conscience, addressing Mircea Dumitru’s focus on the "hard problem" of consciousness. While Dumitru highlights physicalism's limits through the philosophical zombie argument, Mihailov utilizes neurobiology and works by thinkers like Patricia Churchland to demystify subjective experience. By analyzing the prefrontal cortex’s role in cases like Phineas Gage, he argues that phenomenal states—pleasure and pain—are not mysterious qualia but essential evolutionary tools for survival and moral decision-making. THIS ABSTRACT IS GENERATED WITH ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE.
