ABSTRACT
One of the best reasons to embrace eliminativism about ordinary macroscopic objects lies in the fact that if we do claim that such objects exist, some serious difficulties arise. Problems with composition, vagueness, and arbitrariness need to be addressed, and this is no easy matter for the friend of ordinary objects. Eliminativism is the best way to deal with these issues. Eliminativism appeals to a paraphrase strategy to salvage talk about ordinary objects, and it can also deal with the fact that our perceptual experience is such that we seem to perceive ordinary macroscopic objects.
