description: "Stephen Peter Stich is an American academic who is Distinguished Professor of Philosophy and Cognitive Science Emeritus at Rutgers University. Stich's main philosophical interests are in the philosophy of mind, epistemology, and moral psychology. His 1983 book From Folk Psychology to Cognitive Science: The Case Against Belief received much attention; it argues for a form of eliminative materialism about the mind. Stich's views later changed, as indicated in his 1996 book Deconstructing the Mind."
