ARGUMENT; REFUTATION (Logic); PSYCHOLOGICAL fiction; ELIMINATIVE behavior; SELF-defeating behavior; ETHNOPSYCHOLOGY

The article presents an argument on the irrelevance of mental fictionalism in the study of mental fiction. It explains that eliminativism can only be self-refuting if the "meaning pretense" is considered. It shows how folk-psychological nature of "truth" is a basis of self-refutation concerns. It demonstrates how self-refutation is a truth-theoretic notion, that is, a thesis is self-refuting if its falsity can be proven under the supposition it is true.
