Write a paper explaining what you take to be the most central commitments of
Functionalism about mental states, and outlining at least one central benefit of the view.
i need you to follow the following restriction: 1. only use the slides that i provided and paraphrase everything you take from there please don’t use outside resources. word count is 1000 to 1400. This prompt is more about explanation than argumentation. What you are really
being asked to do is to illustrate your best understanding of functionalism about
mental states, as well as your understanding of what has motivated people to adopt
the view.
o There are several different ways of explaining the central commitments of
functionalism. You don’t need to appeal to all of them. Pick a strategy that allows
you to clearly explain your best understanding of the position and focus on
executing it clearly.
o We’ve discussed several different benefits of functionalism. The prompt allows you
to either outline more than one, or more thoroughly explain one. Be decisive about
this. If you choose to outline a single benefit, spend time doing this properly and
don’t be tempted to list a bunch of others as an afterthought. If you choose to
outline, say, two benefits, spend (roughly) equal space on each.
