David Chalmers

David Chalmers is a philosopher. He was born in 1966 and lives in Australia.

Since 2004 he has been a professor of philosophy at the Australian National University.

He has challenged other philosophers to solve the "hard problem of consciousness". This is the problem of explaining the relationship between physical and mental states. For example, the brain has a physical way of processing information and this makes an experience, a mental state.
