Zombie Philosophy

The philosophy of mind has been invaded by zombies.
Read about the undead in philosophy at Zombies Invade Philosophy!.

What is a zombie?

Zombie: A soulless body who has been revived from death and can be made to work as a slave. (Voodoo Information Pages: Glossary)

Zombie: A being that behaves like us and may share our functional organization and even, perhaps, our neurophysiological makeup without conscious experiences or qualia. (Dictionary of the Philosophy of Mind)

qualia: The 'what it's like' character of mental states. The way it feels to have mental states such as pain, seeing red, smelling a rose, etc. (Dictionary of the Philosophy of Mind)

George A. Romero also has a new zombie movie coming out this Summer "Land of the Living Dead".

"Zombie Eat Brains" is a funny blog by Zombie Tom.
Also see his non-undead pop culture blog "Tom the Dog".
