William Ramsey has argued that even if the conditional, 'If there are no beliefs, then there are no assertions' is true, this should not embarrass the eliminativist; what this would show is that not being asserted is not much of an epistemic vice. Following J. L. Mackie, I argue that the only way to put forward the propositional content of a thesis is through assertion. So Ramsey's response requires the eliminativist to reject a propositional model of knowledge entirely. In some recent writings, Paul Churchland offers access to this alternative by rejecting propositional epistemology in favor of a kind of pragmatism that shifts the focus away from propositions and their truth-value. But this expedient has unfavorable implications for the privileged status which serious science has in the eliminativist scheme of thinking. Thus the difficulties posed for eliminative materialism by the self-refutation argument are not adequately met by Ramsey's response.
