Eliminativists oppose an "autonomous" psychology (and, as a consequence, oppose both folk or "common sense" psychology and functionalist cognitive science). According to eliminativists, the central reason behind the alleged autonomy of psychology is a commitment to the "sentential paradigm." In your essay, explore the connection between the two ideas, "sentential paradigm" and "autonomous psychology." In thinking about this question you can, at least initially, think about the autonomy thesis in non-technical terms, as simply referring to our, human, independence from the rest of nature. When you turn to the technical details and analyze (Patricia Churchland's Neurophilosophy, above in "Read" section, pp. 376-395) the "sentential paradigm" (or "sentential attitude psychology"), try to focus on its posit that you think in particular sets humans apart from rest of nature, other organisms, (and, also causes the need for a different, "autonomous" [scientific] explanation). After completing this groundwork, explain how the "infralinguistic catastrophe" argument undermines sententialism
