Exploring eliminative materialism through a Wittgensteinian lens, the author critiques Richard Rorty's interpretation of minds and mental states as mere theoretical constructs. Arguing that this perspective oversimplifies everyday mental language, the book presents a robust critique of its foundational assumptions. Additionally, it proposes an alternative view rooted in Wittgenstein's concept of criteria, offering new insights into the philosophy of mind and advancing a more nuanced understanding of mental phenomena.
