Material Reductivism
In the Philosophy of Mind, a
materialist
position which maintains that all mental events can be reduced to
physical events (specifically, brain events).
Reductivists do not want to purge our langauge of mind-talk as
do the more radical eliminativists, they simply
want us to recognize that what we have traditionally called
mental phenomena are in fact physical in nature.
