 EM is physicalist in one traditional philosophical sense. It postulates that some future brain science will be ultimately the correct account of (human) behavior. It is eliminative in predicting the future rejection of folk psychological kinds from our post-neuroscientific ontology. EM proponents often employ scientific analogies (Feyerabend 1963; Paul Churchland, 1981). Oxidative reactions as characterized within elemental chemistry bear no resemblance to phlogiston release. Even the “direction” of the two processes differ. Oxygen is gained when an object burns (or rusts), phlogiston was said to be lost. The result of this theoretical change was the elimination of phlogiston from our scientific ontology. There is no such thing. For the same reasons, according to EM, continuing development in neuroscience will reveal that there are no such things as beliefs, desires, and the rest of the propositional attitudes as characterized by common sense.
