ABSTRACT
Eliminativism sounds counter-intuitive. But in fact, common sense understood as a philosophically uninformed set of beliefs and intuitions simply has nothing to do with and nothing to say about philosophical theories like eliminativism. Common sense intuitions and eliminativism are entirely orthogonal issues. In general, one should not rely on intuitions as a guide to metaphysical truths. Intuitions of experts – say, informed intuitions of philosophers who work on eliminativism and ordinary objects – do not help either.
