Related to questions about soul, mind, possibility of rebirth/reincarnation, materialistic beliefs, etc. Supporters of quantum mind hypothesis have used the 'zombie'-argument against e.g. eliminative materialists like Churchlands. Also, AFAIK this group is closest to what DU has on general philosophy.
