(Frank Jackson, “Epiphenomenal Qualia” and “Postscript on Qualia”; David Chalmers,  “The Hard Problem of Consciousness” and “The Puzzle of Conscious Experience)   Choose one topic from the two listed below: (1)Jackson (in “Epiphenomenal Qualia” and in “What Mary Didn’t Know”) and Chalmers (in “The Hard Problem of Consciousness” and “The Puzzle of Conscious Experience”) both argue against physicalism. (You may take the thesis Jackson calls “physicalism” to be the same as the one Chalmers calls “materialism.”) Jackson, in a subsequent article, “Postscript on Qualia,” now argues for physicalism essentially on the ground that we should not “have opinions that outrun what is required by the best theory of those opinions’ causal origins.” What do you think he means by this? If physicalism is true, where do you think the knowledge argument and the zombie argument go wrong? If physicalism is false, what do you think is the flaw in Jackson’s later argument for it? (Make sure to define clearly what you think Jackson and Chalmers mean by “physicalism,” i.e. materialism.)

Explain how Hume’s epistemology leaves us with the problem of induction, in that the future has no necessary connection to the past; thus, undermining the scientific method. How does Kant’s notion of the synthetic a priori address this problem? Critically examine the strengths and weaknesses of Hume and Kant’s criteria of knowledge, and defend one side over the other. In other words, does Kant’s synthetic a priori solve the problem of induction?  This is a research paper; therefore, all primary and secondary sources must be cited. In other words, your paper must include a bibliography and footnotes.

But still, it was not for this that she and all the other animals had hoped and toiled. It was not for this that they had built the windmill and faced the bullets of Jones’s gun. Such were her thoughts, though she lacked the words to express them” (Orwell, 1945: 34) Using this statement as a starting point, discuss Orwell’s satirical depiction of political power in Animal Farm (1945) by highlighting how the pigs maintain control of the other animals.
