Type identity physicalism says mental states are identical with brain states. Eliminativism on the other hand states that mental states don't exist at all. Isn't this just a word game? Does it really matter whether we say 'Super-Man is identical to Clark Kent' or whether we say 'Super-Man doesn't really exist, only Clark Kent does'? In particular why does it make an operational difference at all for someone trying to answer mind-body questions? Even if all mental states reduced completely to brain states, it is still very useful to speak of them as a higher level of description, in the way chemistry is still very useful even though it reduces to physics. Isn't Eliminativists dismissal of mental states and psychology kind of dogmatic?
