dc.description.abstractSe zumbis sao conceb ̃ ́ıveis, tambem s ́ ao poss ̃ ́ıveis? A ideia de zumbi implica o epifenomenalismo? O epifenomenalismo implica a possibilidade de zumbis? O objetivo da presente pesquisa e analisar argumentos pr ́ o-zumbis e anti-zumbis ́ que respondem essas perguntas. Basicamente os zumbis sao criaturas hipot ̃ eticas ́ identicas a n ˆ os em todos os aspectos, mas sem experi ́ encia qualitativa, as cha- ˆ madas qualia. Se a concebilidade dos zumbis implicar a possibilidade de que esses seres sao metafisicamente poss ̃ ́ıveis, entao a tese fisicalista que afirma que ̃ propriedades mentais se seguem de propriedades f ́ısicas e falsa. Em meados ́ da decada de 70, Robert Kirk publica dois artigos defendendo a possibilidade ́ de zumbis contra o fisicalismo no geral – mas especialmente o funcionalismo e o behaviorismo - pois, segundo o autor, ha uma tese que ́ e compartilhada por qual- ́ quer fisicalista que se preze. Anos mais tarde, Kirk volta atras em sua posic ̧ ́ ao e ̃ passa a atacar o argumento do zumbi. Segundo ele, existe uma tese epifenome- nalista (a historia e-qualia) que implica a possibilidade de zumbis. Para o epife- ́ nomenalismo, as qualia, assim como outras propriedades e estados mentais, sao ̃ propriedades que nao t ̃ em nenhum efeito causal sobre os nossos comportamen- ˆ tos. Se for comprovado que os zumbis filosoficos s ́ ao poss ̃ ́ıveis, entao as pro- ̃ priedades qualitativas podem ser retiradas sem que isso afete o comportamento humano, o que parece estar de acordo com o epifenomenalismo. A estrategia ́ de Kirk para atacar os zumbis e mostrar que a hist ́ oria e-qualia ́ e inconceb ́ ́ıvel e, portanto, os zumbis tambem seriam inconcebíveis.pt_BR

dc.description.abstractOtherIf zombies are conceivable, are they also possible? Does the idea of a zombie en- tail epiphenomenalism? Does epiphenomenalism entail the possibility of zom- bies? The aim of this research is to analyse pro-zombie and anti-zombie argu- ments that answer these questions. Basically zombies are hypothetical creatures identical to us in all aspects, but without qualitative experience, the so-called qualia. If the conceivability of zombies entails the possibility that these beings are metaphysically possible, then the physicalist thesis that mental properties follow from physical properties is false. In the mid-1970s, Robert Kirk published two articles defending the possibility of zombies against physicalism in general - but especially against functionalism and behaviourism - since, according to the author, there is a thesis that is shared by any serious physicalist. Years later, Kirk rejects his first position and starts attacking the zombie argument. Accor- ding to him, there is an epiphenomenalist thesis (the e-qualia story) that entails the possibility of zombies. For epiphenomenalism, qualia, as other mental pro- perties and states, are properties that have no causal effect on our behaviour. If it is proven that philosophical zombies are possible, then qualitative properties can be removed without affecting human behaviour, which seems to be in line with epiphenomenalism. Kirk’s strategy for attacking the zombies is to show that the e-qualia story is inconceivable and therefore the zombies would also be inconceivable.en
