功能主義 (心靈哲學)

功能主义，也称机能主义是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。Block, Ned. (1996). "What is functionalism?" a revised version of the entry on functionalism in The Encyclopedia of Philosophy Supplement, Macmillan. 
(PDF online ) 功能主义是同一理论和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Lewis, David. (1980). "Mad Pain and Martian Pain". In Block (1980a) Vol. 1, pp. 216–222.和.Armstrong, D.M. (1968). A Materialistic Theory of the Mind. London: RKP. 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。
