 Jennifer Corns (2015) critically discusses both Dennett’s and Hardcastle’s eliminativism about pain, and argues that we need to make a distinction between scientific eliminativism and traditional eliminativism (about folk concepts). She argues that even if a case may be made for scientific eliminativism about pain as a natural kind (see her 2012), nothing follows about eliminating the folk concept of pain in so far as the latter serves a variety of useful functions in ordinary life.
