materialist scientism

The current dialectic.

The idea that a progressively preciser measurement has a spatially wider context; in opposition to logical positivism.
Materialist scientism is left-wing scientism.

The idea that a precision measurement must be found; in contrast to a standard-of-measurement.

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.
