- material + -ism
- In philosophy the theory of materialism holds that the only thing that exists is matter; that all things are composed of material and all phenomena (including consciousness) are the result of material interactions. In other words, matter is the only substance. As a theory, materialism is a form of physicalism and belongs to the class of monist ontology. As such, it is different from ontological theories based on dualism or pluralism. For singular explanations of the phenomenal reality, materialism would be in contrast to idealism and to spiritualism.
- Materialism is a religion which worships all types of money, currency and material things. People who worship the religion are called Materialists and are Materialistic.
- Dr. Nick Land claims that "materialism is the production of production, the materialisation of critique. Following Deleuze’s reconditioning of Kant’s critique of metaphysics, he collapses the transcendental and the material, the emprical/transcendental distinction. Claiming that thinking is a function of materiality, a schema in which matter is primary and its representation is secondary. Here there’s an auto-synthesis the potency of intensive matter (thought). Matter as machinic hyletic production; self-differentiation . The synthesis of absolute difference and absolute indifference (as we find in Schelling: intensive zero as matter in-itself). Representing/represented.
- Materialism is the belief that all observable phenomena can be explained by material interactions. Philosophers may disagree, but it is essentially the same as atheism, except that with materialism there is a possibility that deities do exist, it's just that they have no observable effect on the universe. (Note that from a scientific point of view, if something is not observable and has no observable effects, then that is the same thing as non-existence).

- Dr. Nick Land claims that "materialism is the production of production, the materialisation of critique. Following Deleuze’s reconditioning of Kant’s critique of metaphysics, he collapses the transcendental and the material, the emprical/transcendental distinction. Claiming that thinking is a function of materiality, a schema in which matter is primary and its representation is secondary. Here there’s an auto-synthesis the potency of intensive matter (thought). Matter as machinic hyletic production; self-differentiation . The synthesis of absolute difference and absolute indifference (as we find in Schelling: intensive zero as matter in-itself). Representing/represented. Matter itself generates its own representation, producing a transcendental illusion (my note: a Fata Morgana!) The question is how can we circumvent representation and talk about the primary process (matter in-itself)."
- Materialism is the belief that all observable phenomena can be explained by material interactions. Philosophers may disagree, but it is essentially the same as atheism, except that with materialism there is a possibility that deities do exist, it's just that they have no observable effect on the universe. (Note that from a scientific point of view, if something is not observable and has no observable effects, then that is the same thing as non-existence). Some atheists prefer to describe themselves as materialists because (on face value) it is more a statement on what they do believe, rather than what they don't believe. However there is the problem that the word materialism has acquired the popular meaning: wanting to get many material possessions. Having to explain that you are referring to the former definition rather than the latter can be tiresome.
