This is then used by the person to make an analogy regarding the education system of the society. The person might compare the education system of the society to the brain of the society and the financial matters to be the bloodline of the same. Thus, the person might conclude that reduction in the financial flow might lead to the damage in the education system prevalent in the society.The analogical arguments are considered to be weak due to the fact that these arguments are based only on the analogy.2. What is type-identity theory? Explain why philosophers have found this view appealing. Next, state one common objection to type identity theory. How is this objection supposed to undermine type-identity theory? (4 pts)The type-identity theory states that there are some mental states that are identical to some of the brain states. The type identity theory propounders have found this view appealing since the theory states that for every mental state there has to be existent a physical-chemical state of the brain which corresponds to the former (Rosen et al., 2015).
