Normative Functionalism and its Pragmatist Roots
Normative Funcitonalism and the Pittsburgh School (2012)

| Abstract |
I shall characterize normative functionalism and contrast it with its causal counterpart. After tracing both stripes of functionalism to the work of the classical American pragmatists, I then argue that they are not exclusive alternatives. Instead, both might be required for an appropriately illuminating account of human rational activity.
