Philosophy HU Brain and Behaviour Essay

Request: Philosophers have tended to agree that there is some special relationship between mental states and their characteristic behavior (e.g., between pain and wincing, groaning…, between anger, and raising your voice, etc,.) but they have taken different views of the nature of that relationship. Write a paper that compares and/or contrasts two different views of the relationship between mental states and behavior (e.g., the behaviorist’s view and the functionalist’s view, the behaviorist’s view and Putnam’s view in ‘Brains and Behavior’, etc.). Refer mostly on “brains and behavior” by Putnam ( it is enough if it is the only citation yet it is a MUST)

Advice:

• Focus on being clear, direct and accurate: don’t waste space on irrelevant information or background information.

• Express your points as simply as you can: no flowery language or additional descriptive language just for the sake of it.

• Write an outline for your paper: think about which points you need to include, and in which order, in order to answer the prompt. Stick to the outline when writing the paper.

• Ensure that the work reaches at least 90 points out of 100 on Grammarly.
