Eliminative materialists believe that "the concept of mental events is part of a theory that we use to interpret and apply our experience" (Freeman 94). Therefore, they would claim that qualia is simply a theory that we use. But how does this explain Qualia? Whether it's a mental construct or not, it always seems to exist. An eliminative materialist might argue that qualia are just an illusion, but that ultimately doesn't matter. An illusion of qualia is always qualia. Such a statement would, so to speak, only be an addition to another layer of a theory of mind. One can reasonably conclude that any attempt to explain qualia is at best incoherent and, at worst, begging the question. The failure of strong eliminative materialism, as well as the failure of reductive materialism, means that weak eliminative materialism suffers the worst of both.
