Abstract

Resumen Se expone la teoría de los estados funcionales de Putnam y se muestra en qué consiste su neutralidad ontológica. Se consideran las críticas del propio Putnam al funcionalismo y su falta de adecuación empírica para una explicación satisfactoria de la relación entre mente y cuerpo. Luego, se argumenta a favor del funcionalismo gracias a algunas pistas que proporciona el propio Putnam, indicios que retrotraen al monismo ontológico de Davidson. Palabras clave: funcionalismo;neutralidad ontológica; mente cuerpo;monismo ontológico. A Vindication of Functionalism and its Ontological NeutralityI expound Putnam’s functional states theory and show what its ontological neutrality consists in. I ponder the criticisms of Putnam himself to functionalism and its lack of empirical adequacy for a satisfactory explanation of the mind-body relation. Then, I argue for functionalism thanks to some clues provided by Putnam himself, which are hints that take one back to Davidson’s ontological monism. Keywords : Functionalism;Ontological Neutrality;Mind-Body; Ontological Monism
