Functionalism in relation to dualists and identity theorists?

According to functionalism, a mental state is defined by the set of causal relations it has to (1) environmental effects on the body, (2) other types of mental states, and (3) bodily behavior. If this is correct, then





1. dualism is the only theory that introduces relation and interaction between mind and body correctly





2. the debate between dualists and identity theorists about what kind of stuff or substance the mind is made of is irrelevant





3. the identity theory is the only theory that introduces relation and interaction between mind and body correctly





4. none of the above|||5. Do your own homework.|||5. don't be a jewbag
