MáQUINAS SIN ENGRANAJES Y CUERPOS SIN MENTES: ?CUáN DUALISTA ES EL FUNCIONALISMO DE MáQUINA DE TURING?DOI: 10.4067/S0718-43602011000100012 Keywords: mind-body problem, dualism, turing machine functionalism, materialism. Abstract: this article deals with how turing machine functionalism turns out to be compatible with a form of dualism, which involves that strong ai is not close to the original materialism that inspired it in the nineteenth century. to support this thesis, i argue that there is a compelling coincidence between descartes 'philosophy and this version of functionalism, since the former holds that it is conceivable/possible to separate mind and body, while the latter holds that it is not strictly necessary that mental states are realized by the physical properties of real cogs and machines.
