RE: "So far as I know, there is no mention of Sartre in Chalmers' book. His
name is not in the index."
Yes, I was surprised, as I said. But since you were using the Sartre example to explain Chalmers' notion of "phenomenal consciousnesses" I thought perhaps you meant that he had done likewise.
So I am still in the dark about what he means by "phenomenal consciousnesses". Does he say? There must surely be a succinct definition of it somewhere in his book, given, as you say, that it is so important to his argument. And I gather from what you said earlier that it is also key to his definition of a "zombie" (even though not stipulated in his definition of a "zombie" given at the head of this thread.)
