Serdal Tümkaya has argued that my critique of eliminative materialism makes several missteps. He argues that eliminativism should be taken as a methodology not a settled conclusion, and the final product may well retain some folk psychology concepts. I respond that methodological eliminativism does avoid self-defeat but does not pose a problem for the folk psychologist. Plus, insofar as eliminativism is not eliminating the propositional attitudes but accomodating or translating them, it is not distinct from other, less extreme forms of materialism.

反对“反对 Slagle 的阅读”

Serdal Tümkaya 认为我对取消唯物主义的批评犯了几个错误。他认为取消主义应该被视为一种方法论而不是一个定论，最终的产物很可能会保留一些民间心理学概念。我回应说，方法论取消主义确实避免了自我挫败，但不会给民间心理学家带来问题。另外，就取消主义不是消除命题态度而是容纳或翻译它们而言，它与其他不那么极端的唯物主义形式没有区别。
