Detailed explanation-1: -But some philosophers conclude that functionalism is a good theory of intentional states but that it nevertheless fails because it cannot explain other sorts of mental states-in particular, they say that it cannot explain sensations and other conscious mental states.
Detailed explanation-2: -Functionalism in the philosophy of mind is the doctrine that what makes something a mental state of a particular type does not depend on its internal constitution, but rather on the way it functions, or the role it plays, in the system of which it is a part.
Detailed explanation-3: -It fails to consider individual differences within society – not all societies look or act alike. It assumes that everything in society is largely positive – what about people who are not working towards the common good?
