incidental-materialism

metaphysical materialism

Metaphysical materialism is the metaphysical world view that reality is defined by matter, and the immaterial does not exist. This is similar to metaphysical naturalism, however naturalism is the idea that the universe only runs on natural laws, and materialism is the idea that the universe is only matter, so materialism as a metaphysical concept is an ontological view of the universe, while naturalism is a scientific philosophy that takes the premise of materialism and applies it to our understanding of the universe.

Metaphysical materialism is just a fancier way of saying materialism, both mean the same thing obviously. Most people just use materialism, but adding the term metaphysical to it clarifies that it is talking about a material world of the universe and not an obsession with wealth.

scientific materialism

Scientific realism.

The belief that the present is predicated on the past.

Determinism.

Assumes objectivity (a materialistic past) which falls in the broader sphere of subjectivity (phenomenonology).

Semantic materialism.

Linguistically deconstructed into intangibility (metastaticity) by postmodernism.

Oblivious to the metastaticity (meta-emergence).

Scientific materialism is highly semantic. Thus it is only good for solving questions of ethics or law. Ironically these are questions in the normative sphere of phenomena in contrast to the positive sphere scientific materialism claims to answer.

eliminative materialism

The paradigm that many terms used to describe frames of the mind either describe ciphers or are themselves redundant.

For instance eliminative materialism would argue that sense is a false state in the broader illusion of sensualism.

Eliminative materialism argues that desire is actually consciousness.

Ie. The term "desire" is redundant.
