This video goes over the differences between eliminativism, reductivism, and non-reductivism.
NOTES
- eliminativism
- Psychological physicalism- in philosophy of mind, only physical things exist.
- Psychological discourse refers to non-physical things.
- So, psychological discourse is false.
- reductivism
- Psychological physicalism- in philosophy of mind, only physical things exist.
- Psychological discourse refers to specific physical things.
- So, psychological discourse is only true for things that share that physical makeup.
- But, psychological discourse is reducible to physical discourse.
- non-reductivism
- Psychological physicalism- in philosophy of mind, only physical things exist.
- Psychological discourse refers to non-specific physical things.
- So, psychological discourse is true for anything.
