Between psychoneural identity theory and functionalism, which view is better and why? A full answer should: Explain the two views. Discuss the comparative advantage of one view over the other by doing either of the following: Show that one view has more explanatory power than the other by explaining something that one view can explain but the other cannot.   Show that one of them is vulnerable to an objection that the other one is not vulnerable to. (You need to explain the objection and why one view does better in resisting the objection.) Show that one of them better fits the broader theories/commitments that we have than the other one.

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.
