Eliminativist accounts like Unger's and Merricks's show that all macro-level objects, including organisms, are ontologically redundant given the causal completeness of microphysical particles.

No one has weighed in yet. Be the first to share reasons for or against this statement.

Causal completeness(as the reason larger objects might not be needed): The idea that the smallest physical particles are enough to fully explain everything that happens in the universe—nothing else needs to cause anything.
Macro-level objects(the kinds of objects being called into question): Large, everyday things you can see and touch, like tables, animals, and people (as opposed to tiny invisible particles).
Merricks(as another example of an eliminativist philosopher): Trenton Merricks, a philosopher who also defends eliminativism and argues that most everyday objects don't genuinely exist.
Microphysical particles(what the eliminativist believes are the only truly fundamental things): The tiniest building blocks of matter—like atoms and subatomic particles—that make up everything in the physical world.
