What Is Functionalism
In the field of philosophy of mind, the term "functionalism" refers to the idea that each and every mental state is solely constituted by its functional role, which refers to its relation of causality to other mental states, sensory inputs, and behavioral outputs. The identity theory of mind and behaviorism were two of the major influences that led to the development of functionalism.
