text: **Eliminative materialism / Illusionism**
  
  Eliminative materialism or eliminativism is the view that many or all of the mental states used in folk 
  psychology (i.e., common-sense ways of discussing the mind) do not, upon scientific examination, 
  correspond to real brain mechanisms.[59] According the 2020 PhilPapers survey, 4.51% of philosophers 
  surveyed subscribe to eliminativism.[25] 
  
  While Patricia Churchland and Paul Churchland have famously applied eliminative materialism to 
  propositional attitudes, philosophers including Daniel Dennett, Georges Rey, and Keith Frankish have 
  applied it to qualia or phenomenal consciousness (i.e., conscious experience).[59] On their view, it is 
  mistaken not only to believe there is a hard problem of consciousness, but to believe phenomenal 
  consciousness exists at all.[19][61]
