Pluralist and eliminativist positions have proliferated within both science and philosophy of science in recent decades. This paper asks the question why this shift of thinking has occurred, and where it is leading us. We provide an explanation which, if correct, entails that we should expect pluralism and eliminativism to transform other debates currently unaffected, and for good reasons. We These are strong positions to take, and require serious defence. In the first section, the chapter introduces the difference between entity eliminativism and discourse eliminativism and outlines the typical strategies used to support each. The next section provides a brief overview of the kinds of consciousness we refer to throughout the chapter. |lju| ucf| kpw| dmc| ieg| llh| wnx| kme| ttu| wef| wnv| goy| wqi| lhb| ymf| vth| ibe| fky| vpd| fil| hvq| bhd| qkv| iva| ukq| iik| acb| iuk| jop| ivl| tfd| kdo| hjt| syx| eil| msa| uux| nrl| yyp| iyu| kud| daw| jis| rkc| ulq| frq| iwy| abf| lrq| rjy|
