 Patricia Churchland - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
She is currently chair of the UCSD Philosophy Department, an adjunct professor at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies, and an associate of the Computational Neuroscience Laboratory (Sejnowski Lab) at the Salk Institute.
She is the wife of philosopher Paul Churchland and particularly noted for her work in philosophy of mind and neurophilosophy.
She is associated with a school of thought called eliminativism or eliminative materialism, which argues that folk psychology concepts such as belief, free will, and consciousness will likely need to be revised as science understands more about the nature of brain function.

The Churchlands Campus is situated in a lovely garden setting, nestled conveniently between the city centre and the coast which boasts some of Perth’s most spectacular coastline.

 Sutton review of Churchlands
In the 1980s, this stress on the theoretical and revisable nature of our self-conception was augmented by the Churchlands' attention to new connectionist models in cognitive science, which promised seductive accounts of thought as fundamentally non-linguistic, of memory as thoroughly reconstructive rather than reproductive, and of a reductionism which didn't rule out context and complexity.
This is plausible enough, and Paul Churchland rejects the scientistic authoritarianism which critics ascribe to him through an 'anti-utopian' philosophy of science, by which the neurocognitivism he enthusiastically embraces is not a Final Theory but just another fallible, pragmatic, but promising way of carving and recarving world and mind into new categories.
The Churchlands claim to 'embrace' the point that consciousness is constituted not just by intrinsic facts about an isolated individual, but also by 'the rich matrix of relations it bears to the other humans, practices, and institutions of its embedding culture'.

 Dictionary of Philosophy of Mind - eliminativism
But, in chapter one of Churchland and Churchland 1998, he also gives reasons why his current connectionist arguments show that "The claim that FP {folk psychology} is a corrigible theory need not be hobbled by its initial logical positivist dress." (p.15).
Paul Churchland acknowledges that "it may be true that normative discourse cannot be replaced without remainder by descriptive discourse" but claims that the most important point is that "it is only the autonomy of epistemology that must be denied".
Churchland's claim that "normative issues are never independent of factual matters" (ibid.) is at the very least compatible with Kim's supervenience relationship between the normative and the descriptive.

 Contemporary Philosophy Message Board
The Churchlands dismissed consciousness as 'folk psychology'; describing it as simply a term ascribed to a phenomenon that couldn't be understood, in much the same way as ancient peoples ascribed spirits to things that they couldn't understand.
The Churchlands were not only concerned with providing a description of the mind that eliminated consciousness to the philosophical community, but they were also concerned with removing mental language from vocabulary.
The Churchlands argue that it is inaccurate and misleading to talk of the mind in a scientific sense using semantic classifications the; semantics are essentially not scientific.

 Two Radical Neuron Doctrines
To adapt an example from the Churchlands (1994), that chemical phenomena can be ("in principle") explained in quantum mechanical terms does not imply that all successful theories of chemistry will employ (solely) quantum mechanical concepts and not (classical) chemical concepts.
The Churchlands do not think that a (smoothly) reduced theory is thereby rendered explanatorily defective, and so a reduction of neurobiology to physics (or a reduction of the psychological sciences to neurobiology) would not threaten the power of neurobiology (or the psychological sciences) to explain the mind.
For example, Patricia Churchland emphasizes that she "does not mean that there is something disreputable, unscientific or otherwise unsavory about high level descriptions or capacities per se" (1997, p.

And it is Churchland’s use of the word ‘really’ in the passage that indicates the strength of her claim.
While the Churchlands may be quite right in criticizing these approaches, it does not follow from these claims–contrary to what Paul Churchland (1990) goes on to say–that "fundamental insights into the general nature of cognition are likely to be found by examining the microstructure and microactivity of biological brains" (p.
For the Churchlands, however, the first of these options is out of the question because the trivial doctrine has none of the consequences that the Churchlands clearly want to defend.

 A NEURON DOCTRINE IN THE PHILOSOPHY OF NEUROSCIENCE
Many neuroscientists and philosophers endorse a view about the explanatory reach of neuroscience which we will call the neuron doctrine to the effect that the framework for understanding the mind will be developed by neuroscience; or, as we will put it, that a successful theory of the mind will be solely neuroscientific.
We suggest that the Churchlands are here conflating the two versions of the neuron doctrine, and as a consequence are defending a radical doctrine for reasons that only support a trivial doctrine.
While the Churchlands may be quite right in criticizing these approaches, it does not follow from these claims - contrary to what Paul Churchland (1990) goes on to say - that "fundamental insights into the general nature of cognition are likely to be found by examining the microstructure and microactivity of biological brains" (p.
