Are zombies purely habitual beings?
The answer requires understanding of zombies and of habits. Zombies pursue their goals (brains) incessantly even if their goals are hard to achieve. One can easily bate zombies and they will fall for it each time as if they don't see the causal implications of their pursuit. Habits are of the body. They are lived memory within our nervous system, so despite zombies being dead which presupposes no cognitive functioning their bodies are equipped with some motor capacities for action. That is why zombies can walk for instance.
I guess it could be argued that zombies are purely acting out of habit. Is zombie agency more similar to human agency or to animal agency in this case? Perhaps the habits left after death and reanimated by the zombie are operating like instincts but without a evolutionary purpose. At least not for the zombie, but perhaps for the pathological cause of zombification i.e. the zombyfying condition.
any thoughts?
