Psychophysical identities

Does mental causation require psychophysical identities ... 

In any case, for present purposes, the point to underscore once again is just that the filler-functionalist implementation of the notion of realization is unavailable to the NRP theorist. For when combined with the claim of psychophysical realization, it entails that there are psychophysical identities. It thus offers no alternative to Kims position. In fact, it is his account of how there could be psychophysical property identities. Kim seems to be a filler-functionalist for all mental properties save qualia. 

It might seem - and I at first thought - that this is a psychophysical identity theory that identifies mental property instances with microphysical states of affairs. But there are at least two obstacles to such an identification.
