According to Chalmers, the argument from the conceivability of philosophical zombies disproves materialism in the philosophy of mind. This claim depends on the assumption that conceivability (logical possibility) entails metaphysical possibility. Such entailment is incorrect, however, because a materialist might formulate an analogous argument from the conceivability of anti-zombies. A clash between two mutually excluding logical possibilities prevents one from inferring a metaphysical possibility from any of them.

The article concerns the problem of how to understand the relationship between phenomenal consciousness and intentionality or mental content – an issue that, until recently, has been neglected by many analytic philosophers of mind. I distinguish two ways of theoretically establishing the phenomenal-intentional relation: reductive one, which I equate with so called phenomenal externalism and non-reductive one, which is based on the idea that there is a kind of intentionality – i.e. phenomenal intentionality – that is phenomenally constituted. I argue for the second of these options. Following the work of philosophers such as G. Graham, T. Horgan, U. Kriegel, J. Tienson and B. Loar, I try to show that (1) phenomenal intentionality actually exists, (2) that content of phenomenally intentional states is narrow and (3) that both previous theses are compatible with moderate externalism about mental content.

The article presents a survey of the fundamental theory of consciousness according to David Chalmers. In order to examine these issues the following actions are taken. In the first part, the philosophical and cognitive-scientific views of David Chalmers are summarized in detail. Particular attention is paid to the following issues: the distinction between the easy and hard problem of consciousness, the nature of qualia, supervenience, as well as the arguments against the reductive accounts of consciousness. The elements of the structure of Chalmers’ fundamental theory: e.g., the principle of structural coherence, the principle of organizational invariance and the principle of double aspects of information are presented. Also, the problems of the relationship between mind and quantum mechanics are analyzed. In the second part, Chalmers’ theory of consciousness is challenged and criticized in three areas: cognitive science, philosophy of science and philosophy of physics. In the summary, the reply to the question in the title of the article is suggested.

This study evaluates the concept of phenomenal consciousness in Tomáš Marvan and Michal Polák’s monograph Consciousness and its Theories (Vědomí a jeho teorie, Plzeň-Praha, Vyšehrad and Tiskárna Bílý slon 2015) and in Tomáš Hříbek’s book What’s It Like, or What’s It About? The Place of Consciousness in the Material World (Jaké to je, nebo o čem to je? Místo vědomí v materiálním světě, Praha, Filosofia 2017). The author focuses on the question of how the conceptions presented in these monographs address Chalmers’ hard problem of consciousness. He shows that while Marvan and Polák propose dividing this difficult problem into two easier sub-problems, Hříbek considers it to be a pseudo-problem whose genesis lies in a mistaken understanding of consciousness. The text critically analyzes Marvan and Polák’s defense of the identity theory and Hříbek’s argumentations directed against the existence of qualia. Contrarily, it praises Marvan and Polák’s formulation of a hypothesis of unconscious phenomenality and, in Hříbek’s monograph, the reflection of Dennett’s approach to consciousness in the light of Kripke’s puzzle about belief.

Tato recenzní studie hodnotí pojetí fenomenálního vědomí v monografii Tomáše Marvana a Michala Poláka Vědomí a jeho teorie (Plzeň-Praha, Vyšehrad a Tiskárna Bílý slon 2015) a v knize Tomáše Hříbka Jaké to je, nebo o čem to je? Místo vědomí v materiálním světě (Praha, Filosofia 2017). Autor se zaměřuje na otázku, jak se koncepce představené v těchto monografiích vztahují k Chalmersovu těžkému problému vědomí. Ukazuje, že zatímco Marvan a Polák navrhují rozdělení těžkého problému na dva snadnější podproblémy, Hříbek ho považuje za pseudoproblém, za jehož vznikem stojí chybné chápání vědomí. Text kriticky analyzuje obhajobu teorie identity u Marvana a Poláka a Hříbkovu argumentaci zaměřenou proti existenci kválií. Naopak vyzdvihuje formulaci hypotézy nevědomé fenomenality u Marvana a Poláka a reflexi dennettovského přístupu k vědomí ve světle Kripkovy hádanky o přesvědčení, kterou čtenáři naleznou v Hříbkově monografii.
