This resource contains everything students and teachers alike need to learn or teach the “Eliminative Materialism” area of the AQA A-Level Philosophy specification. It contains the following information:
Some or all common-sense (“folk-psychological”) mental states/properties do not exist and our common-sense understanding is radically mistaken (as defended by Patricia Churchland and Paul Churchland).
Issues including:
our certainty about the existence of our mental states takes priority over other considerations
folk-psychology has good predictive and explanatory power (and so is the best hypothesis)
the articulation of eliminative materialism as a theory is self-refuting.
