The Knowledge Argument
A Philosophical Argument Against Physicalism
Book • 1982
The Knowledge Argument, formulated by Frank Jackson, is a philosophical challenge to physicalism.
It posits that complete physical knowledge does not suffice to understand conscious experiences, as illustrated by the thought experiment involving Mary, a scientist who learns about color vision without experiencing colors.
This argument has been influential in discussions about consciousness and physicalism.
