Type physicalism is contrasted by token identity physicalism, which argues that mental events are unlikely to have " steady " or categorical biological correlates.
2.
The fundamental point is that it is extremely difficult to determine where, on the continuum of first order processes, type identity ends and merely token identities begin.
3.
Type physicalism can now be understood to argue that there is identicalness between types, whereas token identity physicalism says one can only describe a particular, unique, brain event.
4.
According to token identity theories, the fact that a certain brain state is connected with only one " mental " state of a person does not have to mean that there is an absolute correlation between types of mental states and types of brain state.
5.
The idea of token identity is that only particular occurrences of mental events are identical with particular occurrences or tokenings of physical events . [ 43 ] Anomalous monism ( see below ) and most other non-reductive physicalisms are token-identity theories . [ 44 ] Despite these problems, there is a renewed interest in the type identity theory today, primarily due to the influence of Jaegwon Kim . [ 17]
