Match the following decriptions to the views of mind they describe:

1. Functionalism

2. Eliminative materialism

3. Identity theory

4. Property dualism

A. Anything that plays the role of a particular mental state just is that mental state.

B. Many of the thnigs about our minds that we think require explanation are just a result of ignorance about the actual workings of our brains. Once we understand our brains better, we will have no need to talk about the mind the way that we currently do.

C. anything that we can say about the mind can be translated into claims about the brain and vice versa

D. certain things that we talk about in mental terms couldn't possibly be captured in physical terms, even if they are actually physical processes
