    Paul Churchland is a Canadian philosopher born in 1942 who is known for his studies in neurophilosophy and the philosophy of mind. He is a leading proponent of eliminative materialism, which argues that folk psychology's view of the mind is incorrect and that mental states are identical to states of the physical brain. Eliminative materialism supports the idea that folk psychology's conception of the mind does not correspond to reality. Materialism is the doctrine that the physical world is all that exists and that the mind is identical to states of the brain.
