Does this 'functionalism' in the context of personal identity refer to views where your personal identity is determined by pragmatic considerations?
It refers to cases in which if you knew all the facts about the functions being performed by the systems that compose you (as seen from the outside) you would know all the facts about personal identity.
Other way of saying this is that there would be no way of changing personal identity without a change in function as well.
Thanks. What is Parfit's non-functional thing?
