 What is Materialism?
Materialism is the philosophical belief that the
world is made of material, and that there are no
other types of entity (things). Everything is
composed of material. Things that are not made
of material, such as consciousness, are the result
of actions by material. In other words, matter is
the only real substance. Pg-18

that associates reality to ideas in the mind rather
than to material objects. Pg-26
