This resource contains everything students and teachers alike need to learn or teach the “Functionalism” area of the AQA A-Level Philosophy specification. It contains the following information:
Functionalism: all mental states can be characterised in terms of functional roles which can be multiply realised.
Issues, including:
the possibility of a functional duplicate with different qualia (inverted qualia)
the possibility of a functional duplicate with no mentality/qualia (Ned Block’s China thought experiment)
the ‘knowledge’/Mary argument can be applied to functional facts (no amount of facts about function suffices to explain qualia).
