Because the idea of zombies seems to make sense, and seems to, in a certain sense, be possible, I think one can use that to argue against the thesis that everything is purely physical. Now many people, I think, agree that the idea of zombies are conceivable, including people who want to be physicalists.
David Chalmers

WHAT DOES THESIS MEAN IN ENGLISH?

thesis

Thesis

A thesis or dissertation is a document submitted in support of candidature for an academic degree or professional qualification presenting the author's research and findings. In some contexts, the word "thesis" or a cognate is used for part of a bachelor's or master's course, while "dissertation" is normally applied to a doctorate, while in other contexts, the reverse is true. Dissertations and theses may be considered as grey literature. The required complexity and/or quality of research of a thesis or dissertation can vary by country, university and/or program, therefore, the required minimum study period may vary significantly in duration. The word dissertation can at times be used to describe a treatise without relation to obtaining an academic degree. The term thesis is also used to refer to the general claim of an essay or similar work.

Definition of thesis in the English dictionary

The first definition of thesis in the dictionary is a dissertation resulting from original research, esp when submitted by a candidate for a degree or diploma. Other definition of thesis is a doctrine maintained or promoted in argument. Thesis is also a subject for a discussion or essay.
