'''Materialism''' is an ontological position which holds that is no immaterial or spiritual realm. Only things which are detectable in some form by the senses and sense experience- for instance [[fork]]s, [[matter]], [[radiation]], [[heat]], [[neutrinos]], [[mayonnaise]], [[galaxies]], and so forth. It assumed by the position of [[empiricism]], and therefore [[science]], and is contrasted with [[substance dualism]] and [[immaterialism]]. Arguments for materialism commonly employ [[ontological principles]] such as [[Occam's Razor]]- as an immaterial realm is wholly superfluous to our understanding of the world, we have no reason to believe it exists.
