Example text
Since the functional-state hypothesis, as Putnam understood it in 1967, defines a mental state simply in terms of an abstract functional description, it has no consequences whatsoever for the nature of the medium realizing it. Functionally defined states are completely logically independent of their realizers. This gives the functionalist reason to doubt not only the identity theorist’s ‘definition’ of mental states in terms of physical states but even materialism itself, as Putnam shows with another argument arising from the possibility of multiple realization: Indeed, there could be a community of robots that did not all have the same physical constitution, but did all have the same psychology; and such robots could univocally say ‘I have the sensation of red’, ‘you have the sensation of red’, ‘he has the sensation of red’, even if the three robots referred to did not ‘physically realize’ the ‘sensation of red’ in the same way.
To have more or less similar ‘transition probabilities’ (within wide and ill defined limits, to be sure) with each other and with behavior in the case of different species, because this is an artifact of the way in which we identify these states. ¹⁹ Even if mental states are not logically dependent on, or identifiable with, public behavior, it nevertheless remains a philosophically significant feature of the logic and grammar of our common-sense and classical psychological theories that we ascribe mental states on the basis of publicly observable behavior.
20 Paul Livingston psychological phenomena. A historical overview of the theoretical pressures that led to the development of functionalism shows that it was in fact problems about the logical form of immediate, subjective experience that led most centrally to its development, and that these problems continue to threaten the coherence of the functionalist theory. This, in turn, suggests that the contemporary problem of explaining consciousness is not a metaphysical or empirical one about the explanation of a particularly puzzling process, but a conceptual one about the logical structure of experience.
