Description: Functionalism & Qualia Eliminativism
One of the main objections to a functionalist account of the phenomenal
character of experience or qualia is that functionalism simply eliminates
the way our experiences seem to us as opposed to giving an account of it.
The typical functionalist reply to fend off this objection has been to
restate their case again, albeit in more detail. This strategy hasn’t
proved as successful as functionalists would like as skepticism about
qualia-functionalism still looms. This paper aims to defend functionalism
by taking a different approach. It attempts to tease out the intuitions
that motivate the eliminativist objection to functionalism and then
determine whether these intuitions themselves are justified. I argue that
these intuitions remain unjustified and therefore the eliminativist
objection driven by these intuitions carry no weight.
