Yet with all these theories we must still ask why ‘what it’s like’ (i.e. subjective experience) provides a selective advantage over and above the specific abilities that have evolved. The final possibility is to throw out the idea that experiences themselves can do anything. In this ‘illusionist’ view consciousness is not an adaptation but an illusion, not because it is a useless by-product, but because it is not something separable from intelligence, perception, thinking, self-concept, language, or internal modelling. - Radomir Gluhovicцитує3 роки томуIf consciousness is an adaptation, if subjective experience is adaptive in its own right, it makes sense to say that we might have evolved without it. But in this case we would not be philosophers’ zombies; we would be more like Hollywood Haitian zombies—creatures deficient in something important. Evolution would then have favoured the conscies. If you take this view, you have to explain what consciousness adds, and you will remember the trouble we had with the concept of consciousness actually doing anything. For a start, it is difficult to see how subjective experiences or what it’s like to be could actually affect anything. Then there is all the evidence that conscious experiences come too late to be the cause of actions or to have the kinds of effects they are commonly thought to have.
