In this passage, Putnam pointed out that psychological theories could be formulated in two ways: one described behavioral dispositions and physiological This way of describing functional analyses was clearly under the influence of Putnam's (1960) analogy between minds and TMs. In a later work, where Fodor Later in the same paper, Putnam offered a conditional formulation of a computational version of functionalism. and psychological theories constitute a reason to believe that the mind is a program or that the functional relations between mental states are computational, that Lycan found in Putnam's computational formulations of functionalism, he stated ./cache/work_dk2ngcxwyvdxrlh6tjli5r4phu.pdf ./txt/work_dk2ngcxwyvdxrlh6tjli5r4phu.txt
