Putnam is a famous American spiritual philosopher.His functionalist theory is an important theory in spiritual philosophy.Putnam's contribution to the field of spiritual philosophy research is that he can continually innovate philosophical views and continually revise his own philosophical views in the spirit of self-opposition and criticism.Based on relevant theories,this paper makes a brief analysis of the transformation of Putnam's functionalism into anti-functionalism.Through brief analysis,it is recognized that functionalism is the core content of Putnam's research system of spiritual philosophy,and thus forms his unique research system of spiritual philosophy.Although Putnam advocated functionalism and encountered many people's doubts,he was once opposed by Putnam himself.However,he found that it still has a hard time to replace other spiritual philosophy in the field of spiritual philosophy.Prominent position.Putnam's functionalism has undergone a more tortuous research process,and its evolutionary direction is also a dilemma,but ultimately it relies on functionalism to establish Putnam's due status in the field of spiritual philosophy research.This article first introduces the background of Putnam's functionalism.Putnam's research opportunity was due to the development of technology at the time.Putnam's early philosophical research was mainly based on realism.In the process of creating his realism,Tenan had a close connection with the study of spiritual philosophy.He was influenced by the theory of physical and mental relations in the European continent.The direct influence,especially the theory of body and mind,laid the initial foundation for Putnam's research on spiritual philosophy.The main opportunity for Putnam to study functionalism in spiritual philosophy is to benefit from the development of technology at the time.The vigorous development of computer science,information theory and system theory has provided a higher level of relevant theoretical foundation for the study of spiritual philosophy,and further promoted the further research of Putnam.Then the reason why Putnam proposed functionalism was the revelation of the Turing machine.Then the article talks about Putnam's functionalist views.There are three main ones,mainly that Putnam believes that the psychological process of human beings is the calculation process of Turing machine;Putnam opposes behaviorism and the same body and mind,recognizing mental state and system.Theconsistency of the anti-functional state;finally,his new interpretation of the private feeling.Then the article talks about the origin of Putnam's thought transformation,mainly from three points to explain.Finally,he talked about the three aspects of his anti-functionalism.
