Explain Kripke’s modal argument against identity theory about pain. Kripke rejects identity theory by showing that one can conceive of C-fiber firings without pain. But some people, including Kripke himself, have argued that some cases of conceivability can be explained away (for example, the conceivability of water that is not H2O). So, one might object that the conceivability of C-fiber firings without pain can be explained away. Explain how Kripke blocks this objection and critically evaluate his position about this issue. A full answer should: Explain the argument by explicitly stating its premises and its conclusion. Briefly explain each premise and Kripke’s reasoning behind it. Highlight the premise (or premises) that amount to showing that the conceivability of C-fiber firings without pain cannot be explained away. Explain Kripke’s reasoning in support of it and critically evaluate this reasoning.
