Robert Kirk

Robert Kirk is a professor emeritus in the Department of Philosophy at the University of Nottingham. Kirk is known for his work on philosophical zombies—putative unconscious beings physically and behaviorally identical to human beings. Although Kirk did not invent this idea, he introduced the term "zombie" in his 1974 paper "Sentience and Behaviour" [ [http://links.jstor.org/sici?sici=0026-4423(197401)2%3A83%3A329%3C43%3ASAB%3E2.0.CO%3B2-1 Sentience and Behaviour] , Robert Kirk, "Mind" (new series) 83, #329, (January 1974), pp. 43–60.] , and helped to popularize the concept in the 1970s. [ [http://ndpr.nd.edu/review.cfm?id=6823 Review by Larry Hauser of "Zombies and Consciousness" by Robert Kirk] , "Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews", June 12, 2006.] [http://www.imprint.co.uk/pdf/13_4_books.pdf Review by John McCrone of "Zombies and Consciousness" by Robert Kirk] , "Journal of Consciousness Studies" 13 (2006) #4, pp. 113–120.] Kirk continued to publish on consciousness and physicalism during the 1980s and 1990s and recently has attacked the possibility of zombies in his 2005 book "Zombies and Consciousness".
