Is the mind the same as the body? What is consciousness? Can machines have it?

Do Qualia realists believe that Qualia are eternal?

Post by pessimist_093 »

Qualia realists like David Chalmers believe in the existence of Qualia which they define as: instances of subjective conscious experience, possessing the properties of ineffability, exclusivity and immediate apprehensibility. Qualia realists have extensively expounded upon Qualia in papers and lectures but I am unaware of them ever having addressed the position that Qualia are eternal and I am wondering whether any of them subscribe to this position.
