Materialist Philosophy

Materialist philosophy is the view that everything in existence, including mind, consciousness, and experiences, arises from physical matter and natural processes. It asserts that the material world is fundamental, and all phenomena can be explained by interactions of physical substances, such as atoms and molecules. Unlike ideas that prioritize spiritual or supernatural explanations, materialism emphasizes that reality is ultimately rooted in tangible, measurable entities, and scientific investigation is the best way to understand the universe. It has influenced scientific, philosophical, and ethical discussions by grounding understanding in empirical evidence and physical causality.
