功能主義 (心靈哲學)

功能主义,也称机能主义心灵哲学中的观点之一,认为心灵状态(信念、欲望、痛苦等)都仅仅基于它们的功能角色。功能角色是,一个心灵状态与其他心灵状态(其他人的心灵)之间的关系,感官输入和行为输出。[1] 功能主义是同一理论行为主义的发展演变。

多重实现

多重实现是功能主义的重要部分。根据标准的功能主义理论,心灵状态回应功能角色。它们像阀门一样,一个阀门可以由塑料或铁等等构成,只要它们能当作阀门来用。类似地,功能主义者认为,心灵状态也可以被解释,而不需要什么实现它们的物理的中介(例如大脑),人们只需要考虑更高层面的功能即可。

但是,也有功能主义理论与同一理论相组合,否定了多重现实。例如Functional Specification Theories (FSTs) (Levin, § 3.4)。最著名的支持这个观点的人是大卫·刘易斯[2]戴维·阿姆斯特朗英语David Malet Armstrong.[3] 根据FSTs,心灵状态是功能角色的特殊“实现者”,而不是功能角色本身。
