Minte şi realitate în funcţionalismul american
Mind and Reality in American Functionalism

Summary/Abstract: From a philosophical point of view, functionalism represents a theory of the mind which emphasizes on the functional dimension of mental states, stating that this dimension has, in fact, an essential role in understanding the mind: it is not the internal constitution determines the nature of mental states, but the way these function. This model of the mind, beyond its shortcomings (it has been objected that it is incapable to capture the mind in its complexity), has proven very influent in opening new perspectives in philosophy, especially in the philosophy of mind and the philosophy of artificial intelligence.
