Materialism

MATERIALISM

Materialism is the belief that matter is the fundamental form of reality, and that mind and consiousness stem from it. Materialism is a type of philosophy. Materialism holds that all phenomena and processes are manifestations or results of matter. In popular culture, materialism refers to an obsession with money and expensive goods that money can buy.

Materialism is very logical and in fact is upheld by some of humanities greatest minds such as Albert Einstein. Experience provides numerous examples that prove materialism, such as the intersection between Neuroscience and behavior, action at a distance being explained by quantum mechanics and, subjective morality. Some may claim that materialism is contrary to logic, as there is no logical reason to expect human senses to be able to fully recognize all of reality. This shows a fundamental misunderstanding of materialism as material need not be observed by a human for it to exist.

Materialists within the gun control debate may take a pro-gun stance by explaining how violence is increased by environmental factors such as an abusive homelike, poverty, and more so removing guns wouldn't remove the violence.Materialists tend to accept the reality that humans are a product of more than 200,000 years of evolution.
