6. Multiple realizability:
- every type of mental state is identical with some type of physical state
- what makes a mental state the state that it is, is the functional role it plays
- each type of mental state is realised by many different types of brain states
- every token of a mental state is identical with some token physical state
7. Eliminativism:
- the position that something doesn’t exist and reference to it should be eliminated
- nothing that exists is mental
- what makes a mental state the state that it is, is the functional role it plays
- our everyday theory about minds and mental philosophy
8. Folk psychology:
- each type of mental state is realised by many different types of brain states
- the position that something doesn’t exist and reference to it should be eliminated
- our everyday theory about minds and mental philosophy
- a functional duplicate of a human person but who has no mental qualities
9. There are three competing views on how we should work out what the function of a mental state is; which one of these is NOT one of them?
- Analytic
- Empirical
- The inputs and outputs
- Machine-state
10. Which of these is a functional kind as opposed to a natural kind?
- Fabric
- Table
