W obronie Gumika. Uwagi o "Bajkach funkcjonalistów" Tadeusza Skalskiego
In defense of the Bandie

Summary/Abstract: The titular “Bandie” is a fictional creature devised by Tadeusz Skalski in his Fairy Tales of Functionalism (published in “Folia Philosophica” 24). It is supposed to be a reduction ad absurdum for the thesis of organizational invariance. I show that the argument works only because the though experiment Skalski uses is highly suggestive and that, contrary to Skalski’s intentions, The Bandie is in fact quite a complex dynamic system.
