'''Materialism''' is an [[ontology|ontological]] position which holds that there is no immaterial or spiritual realm, only that which is detectable in some form by the senses—for instance [[matter]], [[light]], 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 materialists' understanding of the world, they have no reason to believe it exists.

Materialism is the basis of both [[Capitalism]] and [[Communism]]. The teachings of [[Karl Marx]] and [[Vladimir Lenin]] (see [[Marxism-Leninism]]) rest upon a particular philosophy called [[dialectical materialism]].
