    Eliminative materialism is the view that in order to recognize and describe what exists in the world, it is necessary to eliminate anything mental, such as the mind, mental states and mental properties. In addition, eliminative materialism stresses on the assumption that folk psychology is an outdated theory that must be eliminated, as behaviours are neurological processes and not caused by mental states. In this paper, I will be criticizing eliminative materialism by explaining the importance of folk psychology as how it is necessary to understand mental states and decisions during certain situations. Folk psychology is the theory in which it explains the behaviours of humans and nonhumans according to their beliefs, desires and other propositional…

Hop-Frog’s controversial interpretation symbolizes sin and vice that mankind is susceptible to be exposed with. Likewise, the Dark Romanticism literatures convey a broader exploration into mankind’s minds by demonstrating how one is too fragile to allow his or her mind commands the behaviors. Poe’s “The Tell-Tale Heart” is an example of a Dark Romanticism literature that let…

    • 4 Pages

    The approaches we’ve discussed in this course in regard to action, the causal approach and the qualitative approach, are each worthy of fierce debate. Despite the persuasiveness of each, I believe there is one that is slightly more attractive than the other. Charles Taylor characterized these two general approaches as looking for an answer to, “what is the nature of action? Or otherwise put, what distinguishes (human) action from other kinds of events” (Taylor, pg. 77-78)? Personally, I find…

    Do people have propositional attitudes? How does the form cognitive science should take depend on the answer to this question? “We have no idea of how to explain ourselves to ourselves except in a vocabulary which is saturated with belief/desire psychology.

If she is using a different brand of tampon as opposed to Tampax Radiant, she is not doing all that she can do to mask her period and thus “standing out”.

We used many questions to gain insight as to what the children did and did not know. This method was used to trigger the mind maps of each student and help to draw on those concepts.
