In 1939, G. E. Moore presented his famous proof of an external world. In 2018, David Chalmers published his Moorean argument against illusionism. In 2022, Chalmers argued that Moore’s original argument was wrong. In this paper, I will try to defend the original Moore’s argument against Chalmers-style criticism, and show that Chalmers’s Moorean argu...
In this study, we have used a survey to investigate students in higher education and their self-efficacy abilities in Media and information literacy (MIL). We have investigated whether the students felt that the MIL-related education, offered by the libraries, helped them develop their abilities when they took part in it. The survey also asked if t...
I dagens samhälle spelar miljön en viktig roll, både för hur miljön skall bevaras och hur miljöproblem kan undvikas. Med detta uppmanas allt fler människor ha en större miljömedvetenhet. Miljöproblemet är ytterst märkbart i infrastrukturen och främst transporter av dess olika slag. Större fordon, såsom lastbilar, färdas långa sträckor för att trans...
This essay examines and analyzes the debate between David Chalmers and Daniel Dennett about the nature of consciousness and how to proceed to explain its existence. They are two of the biggest names of philosophy of mind today and have been on opposite sides of the debate since the nineties. Chalmers has long advocated a modern dualistic view of co...

This paper addresses strong artificial intelligence (AI) and, if it is possible,if consciousness could be replicated. Focus lies on Searle's article Minds,brains and programs and David J. Chalmers's theory that consciousness can be replicated because it is as an organizational invariant. The purpose is to evaluate Searle's argument against strong A...
The reemergence of artificial intelligence during the last 30 years has introduced severalforms of weak AI to our everyday lives, be it in our smartphones or how the weather ispredicted. Modern approaches to AI, using methods like neural networks and machinelearning, also feel confident about creating strong AI, intelligence that is human-like orsu...
Inom ett väldigt forskningsintensivt område, strategiskt arbete, identifierades ett hålrum inom den tillgängliga litteraturen som berörde strategiska satsningar inom ideella organisationer utan direkt ekonomiskt intresse. Den här uppsatsen har därför haft till syfte att fylla det här tomrum och det har gjorts genom en kvalitativ fallstudie vid Chal...

The so-called hard problem of consciousness is a chimera, a distraction from the hard question of consciousness, which is once some content reaches consciousness, 'then what happens?'. This question is seldom properly asked, for reasons good and bad, but when asked it opens up avenues of research that promise to dissolve the hard problem and secure...

Maybe the most important argument in David Chalmers’s monumental book Constructing the World is the one he calls the ‘Frontloading Argument’, which is used in Chapter 4 to argue for the book’s central thesis, A Priori Scrutability. And, at first blush, the Frontloading Argument looks very strong. I argue here, however, that it is incapable of secur...
