Sociology of Materialistic Orthodoxy
A branch of sociology that examines how materialistic orthodoxies are socially constructed, maintained, and challenged within scientific and philosophical communities. The sociology of materialistic orthodoxy investigates how materialism becomes the default position through scientific training, how it's maintained through institutional mechanisms (funding priorities, publication standards, hiring practices), how dissenters are marginalized or excluded, and how the orthodoxy responds to challenges from dualists, idealists, and other heretics. It also examines the role of materialism as a boundary markerโdistinguishing "real" science from "pseudoscience," "serious" philosophy from "woo." The sociology of materialistic orthodoxy reveals that materialism's dominance isn't just about evidence; it's also about social power, institutional authority, and the natural human tendency to treat one's own assumptions as obviously true.
Example: "Her sociology of materialistic orthodoxy research showed how philosophy departments that questioned materialism were systematically excluded from prestige networksโnot because their arguments were weak, but because they violated the orthodoxy that defined 'serious' philosophy. The social enforcement was invisible to those who benefited from it."
