I will pay for the following article In a strict maximum of 6 pages (double space), answer the following question: Is functionalism true Defend your answer. The work is to be 6 pages with three to five sources, with in-text citations and a reference page. It follows that functionalism is not true because like physicalism it is guilty of liberalism. Fascinatingly, functionalism holds that mental states such as desires, beliefs, and pain are instituted by their functional role. As a theory that currently dominates research in the field of cognitive science, the theory is facing massive criticism and controversy. This paper shall candidly and comprehensively elucidate on the concept of functionalism, using various illustrations with the intention of indicating that functionalism is not true.

The functionalism suggestion of manifold realizability, where hardware operation is irrelevant because only the functional level is imperative, is quite unrealistic and illogical. The "Chinese nation" or "China brain" experiment exclusively endeavors to indicate what would happen if the entire Chinese nation methodically organizes itself to operate similar to the brain with each person performing as a neuron that will ultimately form a "Blockhead" (Searle, 1984). In lieu of this, functionalism presupposes that as long as people perform the proper functional roles, with proper causal relations between outputs and inputs, then the system will be a real mind with consciousness and mental states. Outrageously, functionalism allows this to be a legitimate description of the mind, something that is patently absurd and candidly indicate that there is something erroneous with the proposition of functionalism. Apparently, some functionalists strongly believe that were it not for its size (that hampers it from being conscious) china would have qualia. Indeed, humanity is constrained by its theory of mind and people might never understand how the conscious of China is or how it works. Does qualia exist in the Chinese nation? Certainly no but it exists in other states.
