ANALYSIS
Overall, eliminative materialism means the self is the brain. We always use
our senses to see or feel real situation. Brain as our provider to see, feel,
touch, taste, and smell
Churchland asserted the sense of self is originated from the brain itself and
that self is a product of an electromagnetic signals produced by the
brain.
Eliminative materialism got two parts. Materialism stated that there is only
the brain that mental processes such as remembering, learning, feeling
hungry, feeling dizzy that these states that we’re aware of are actually
states of the physical brain itself. Materialism is the idea that all what we
think of as the mind is something that the brain does. Eliminative means as
the neuroscience develops and as we discover more and more about the
way the physical brain works some of the psychological categories may
not fit very well onto things that we are discovering about the nature of
the brain. Categories such as the will of where you might think of.
There are a whole lot of areas of the brain that cooperate and integrate
when decisions and choices are made.
