A sophisticated form of materialism that has incorporated its critics—a materialism that acknowledges the reality of consciousness, meaning, and experience while insisting they are ultimately material in some expanded sense. Metamaterialism doesn't reduce mind to neurons; it expands matter to include mind. It suggests that matter may be more complex, more strange, more capable than traditional materialism allowed—perhaps matter itself has experiential properties, or gives rise to genuinely novel phenomena that are still material in origin if not in character. It's materialism that has learned from its critics and grown.
Metamaterialism "I used to be a simple materialist: everything is particles. Then I studied consciousness and realized particles don't explain experience. Now I'm a Metamaterialist: matter is richer than we thought, capable of generating mind, meaning, maybe even spirit. Not abandoning materialism—expanding it."
