Hi N.K.
They can only be found in thought experiments. If philosophical zombies are theoretically possible then physicalism ( scientific reductionism) is false.
To put it another way, it is false that the mind can be reduced to the function of the brain.
This is because humans have something "extra" ( call it a spark if you like).That philosophical zombies don't have.
As I said before, if philosophical zombies are logically impossible then physicalism is an adequate explanation. There is no "spark".
