David Chalmers is a University Professor of Philosophy and Neural Science at New York University. He is also the codirector of the Center for Mind, Brain, and Consciousness. Chalmers is well-known for his work on consciousness and has written several books on the subject, including “The Conscious Mind,” “The Character of Consciousness,” and “Constructing the World.” He has received recognition for his contributions, including giving the prestigious John Locke Lectures and being awarded the Jean Nicod Prize.
One of Chalmers’ notable contributions is his formulation of the “hard problem” of consciousness. This concept has inspired other works, such as Tom Stoppard’s play “The Hard Problem.” Chalmers also introduced the idea of the “extended mind,” which suggests that the tools we use can become an integral part of our cognitive processes.
