“Functionalism is the idea that handsome is as handsome does, that matter only matters because of what matter can do. Functionalism in this broadest sense is so ubiquitous in science that it is tantamount to a reigning presumption of all of science.” D. Dennett, Sweet Dreams – Philosophical Obstacles to a Science of Consciousness
Join us as we explore the utility and limitations of "functionalism" as a tool in philosophy of science and in the particular sciences: biology, chemistry, physics, mind, and mathematics, the metaphysics and epistemology of science.
