Analytic Functionalism and the Ability Hypothesis versus Inversion Arguments

Master thesis | Philosophy (MA) (60 EC)

I argue that it is reasonable to reject inversion arguments if we accept a combination of analytic functionalism and the ability hypothesis, and that alternative theories are fundamentally more problematic.
