yes, with (the late) D K Lewis, hilary Putnam is the one who invented
functionalism, if it were not that Turing thought about it....

Perhaps this one?
'I shall, in short, argue that pain is not a brain state, in the sense
of a physical-chemical state of the brain (or even the whole nervous
system), but another kind of state entirely. I propose the hypothesis
that pain, or the state of being in pain, is a functional state of a
whole organism.' (Putnam, 'The Nature of Mental States')
Sincerely,
Phil Enns
