Eliminative materialism is a philosophical theory about the nature of mental states, particularly those described by everyday psychological terms like beliefs, desires, and intentions. This theory posits that many of the common-sense psychological concepts we use to explain human behavior (often referred to as folk psychology) are fundamentally mistaken and do not correspond to any actual mental processes or states.
