Eliminative materialism represents perhaps the most radical complex of ideas within the philosophy of mind. The arguments which it holds may seem absurd at the first blush. Eliminativists have 'accelerated' physicalist/materialist views concerning mental states so that the concepts we usually use to describe our experience with (e.g. love, hate, desire) arrive as the aberrations and results of our long-term misconceptions and ignorance (in other words, 'mental states' never actually existed). Eliminativism main thesis is that common sense psychology shows outrageous poverty in descriptive capacity, facing the innovations of nowadays science (in particular, neurobiology).

According to Bayer Health Care, the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system becomes activated when the specialized cells of the distal tubules known as macula densa detect the decreased concentration of sodium and chloride ions. The reduction of NaCl concentration of the blood is a result of the presence of low blood pressure in the body. Once the decrease in blood pressure has been detected, the juxtaglomerular cells found in the kidneys will start discharging renin (an enzyme which breaks down proteins into shorter fragments). However, it is important to note that there are also other stimulus for the release of the proteolytic enzyme ...
