"Greek Zombies," a lecture given by Professor of Philosophy Jan Sleutels at the 2006 Julian Jaynes Conference on Consciousness at the University of Prince Edward Island. For more on Julian Jaynes's theory please visit [ Ссылка ].
Professor Sleutels explores the possibility that the human mind underwent substantial changes in recent history. Assuming that consciousness is a substantial trait of the mind, the lecture focuses on the suggestion made by Julian Jaynes that the Mycenean Greeks had a “bicameral” mind instead of a conscious one. The suggestion has been dismissed by critics such as Ned Block. A closer examination of the intuitions involved, considered from different theoretical angles (social constructivism, idealism, eliminativism, realism), reveals that the idea of ‘Greek zombies’ should be taken more seriously than is commonly assumed.
