摘要

教会以其消灭唯物主义理论而臭名昭著。这一理论已经与科学主义和哲学可能的死亡联系在一起。在这篇文章中，我将仔细研究对EM最常见的指控，并试图对其进行全面评估。结论是，EM在大多数针对它的批评中幸存了下来。当然，在当前的理论形式上，有很多事情需要改进，但似乎没有一件是不可抗拒的。盲目热情论、还原论、神经科学例外论和科学主义的指控源于对实际科学本质的广泛误解。此外，EM弄巧成拙的反对意见得到了回应。

In defence of Churchland-style eliminative materialism: Objections and replies

The Churchlands are notorious for their theory of eliminative materialism (EM). This theory has become associated with scientism and a possible death of philosophy. In this article, I will closely examine the most common accusations made against EM and try to give an overall assessment of them. The conclusion is that EM survives most of the criticisms levelled against it. For sure, there are many things to do to improve on the current form of the theory, but none of them seems to be unsurpassable. The charges of blind enthusiasm, reductionism, neuroscience exceptionalism and scientism originate from widespread misconceptions about the nature of actual science. Furthermore, the objection that EM is self-defeating is answered.
