What is eliminative materialism? Please elaborate.
Eliminative materialim is the way people understand their own minds and how they are incorrect about what they understand about their minds. There are categories of consciousness that people classify themselves in, which are desire, love,motivation,anger,free-will ect. They say these categories fail to exist becuase they are mythic and religious explanations of human conciousness. This is something called "folk-psychology". They say that these categories or feelings are un true, an example is "love". It is a self-generated thought and has no meaning. I honestly think that if we were going by this theory we as humans would be un human-like.
