With regard to metaphysical materialism, what exactly is modern metaphysical materialism?

Metaphysical materialism has long been outdated, but it is a stage in the development of philosophy, and there is indeed a market for this philosophy in the past when science and technology were not developed.

Now, of course, it seems ridiculous.

The reason why we are discussing it now is because in life, there are still many people who do things, look at problems very one-sidedly, are very rigid, and have stubborn and rigid thoughts, and they unknowingly make metaphysical mistakes.

Of course, if the smallest unit of matter is quarks, and quarks are the primordial elements of the world, then we still make the mistake of metaphysical materialism. Because the mistake of metaphysical materialism is that it must define matter in the form of a concrete substance, so that it can never break through, and it will not withstand the attack of idealism (Newton is the best example).

Dialectical materialism redefines matter philosophically: "Matter is one of the contents and components of the world, an objective reality of all things, and an absolute abstraction that man discovers and extracts from all kinds of things through the thinking of the brain." In this way, as we now call the field, force, photon, dark matter, etc., all belong to the material category of philosophy, and it breaks through the bottleneck of metaphysical materialism and firmly develops materialism.

It is precisely on the basis of this definition of matter that Marx compared the law of material development in nature to human social life, and discovered the law of the development of human society, that is, historical materialism.

Speechless... All of the above is wrong.

Let me tell you.

It believes that matter is atoms, everything in the world is made up of atoms, and atoms are the smallest units of matter that cannot be divided" This sentence is atomism, from the ancient Greek philosophical school.

Materialism is basically (roughly) divided into naïve materialism, metaphysical materialism, and that stupid dialecticism.

You ask about metaphysics, so I won't talk about naivety and dialectic.

Here's what it means metaphysically:

Metaphysics, also called mechanical materialism, may not be understandable, but you can imagine a scene in a large machine where the machine is made up of countless tiny parts and gears, parts A and B are interconnected, and AB is moving.

The sum (which interacts, not simply adds) produces c. The sum of a and d may produce e.

In addition, "isolated, static, one-sided views" are not to be disregarded.

That is, a phenomenon affects a phenomenon, and metaphysical materialism is the foundation of modern science and technology.

Ordinary people do not need to care about metaphysical errors in ordinary life.

Let's talk about the wrong place. (It's normal not to understand, if you are not very interested in philosophy, there is no need to understand).

For example, if you see the sun, the sunlight, the stones are hot, and then you think that the sun is hot on the stones, right?

But in fact, you see the process, all you see is the sun, the sun's rays, and the heat of the stones.

You feel that they have a connection as your own "habitual association".

And so on and so forth.........

At the time when metaphysical materialism was formed, human beings' understanding of matter was only to the atom, or it was precisely because of the discovery of the atom that the theory of metaphysical materialism was formed, and there was no greater breakthrough in matter at that time. The book is narrated from the perspective of the history of the development of philosophy.

JDD4682, are we all wrong? What are you so good at! You're right, people with a little bit of education won't talk about it, and besides, her books are more detailed than yours, right? You're answering the wrong question!

What he asked was: "Excuse me, didn't quarks have been discovered a long time ago, then this theory is not valid, so why is it still discussed, and is there no one who has this view now?" Even if some people believe it, does this statement about "atoms" need to be "updated"?

Thank you!! >

What else <"Ordinary people do not need to care about metaphysical errors in ordinary life. "> you say that others are ordinary people, you are not ordinary people, right?

You're talking about Democritus, and there is a big difference between philosophy and chemistry. Comparisons are hierarchical, and you can't compare things from different fields. Now people discuss it because it is a stage in the history of human thought, and its significance is very significant, and its proposal marks a great progress in human understanding of the nature of the world.

Ma Zhe, you also believe it, fool you to death, hehe

Metaphysical materialism is a materialistic thing, and it is not dialectical materialism to analyze things only on the basis of intuition and experience.

The present discussion is in terms of the history of the development of philosophy.

And even now, not everyone is materialistic.

Everything is contradictory.

Modern metaphysical materialism.

Modern metaphysical materialism is also called mechanical materialism.

The main points of this philosophical thought are:

First, it acknowledges that the original nature of the world is material. However, he believed that this kind of matter was atoms, and equated the motion of matter with the motion of atoms, and therefore had a mechanical nature.

Second, it believes that matter determines consciousness, but denies that consciousness has a reaction to matter, and believes that consciousness is a derivative of matter.

Third, it is precisely because of the second viewpoint that it is difficult to explain the role of human consciousness in the development of social development in the field of human historical development, so it has fallen into idealism, which is a kind of incomplete materialism.

Metaphysical materialism in modern times, i.e., mechanical materialism. First of all, the basic characteristics of metaphysical materialism are that it acknowledges the materiality of the world, but interprets the world from an isolated, static, and one-sided point of view, and does not see the universal connection and change and development between things and phenomena in the world, or only recognizes the mechanical connection and mechanical movement, and thus exhibits mechanical and metaphysical characteristics.

Second, the second limitation of metaphysical materialism is mechanism. This state of affairs is reflected in philosophy, where the dominant metaphysical way of thinking of this period, that is, the way of thinking that observes and interprets the world from isolated, static and mechanical point of view, creates the inevitable limitations of modern metaphysical materialism.

The background to the birth of modern metaphysical materialism was the vigorous rise of modern Western natural sciences.

In the field of natural science, a large number of scientists have discovered a large number of natural laws and macroscopic and micro facts, so they have directly regarded these natural science research results as philosophical achievements to explain the whole world. This kind of materialist philosophy has a mechanical nature, which is also called metaphysics.

1. Epistemology is different.

Metaphysical materialist epistemology sees human cognition as a passive, passive reflection and acceptance of external objects.

The epistemology of dialectical materialism, while inheriting the rational premise of the reflection theory of the old materialism, has overcome its serious shortcomings.

2. The content is different.

Modern metaphysical materialism enriches and develops materialism on the basis of summarizing the achievements of natural science. However, it reduces matter to atoms in the sense of natural science, and believes that atoms are the origin of the world, and the properties of atoms are the properties of matter, so they have limitations such as mechanical, metaphysical, and idealistic in the view of history.

Dialectical materialist epistemology is an important part of dialectical materialism, which is a scientific epistemic theory about human cognition, cognitive ability, epistemic form, epistemic process and epistemic truth.
