For those who have philosophized in both an idealist and materialist style, what are the differences and similarities between the two methods?

>> No.19561167

They aren't really methods, but rather metaphysical views about the primary substance of reality. Using a materialist lense without having a materialist metaphysics is a dead end.

Materialists employ more "scientific" language as their entire philosophy is dependent on science and the scientific method.

How is Democritus a materialist?

Does materialism always lead to nihilism and atheism? That's what happened to me anyways

>> No.19563163

>>19563150
That depends. Do you think matter is "living"(conscious, animated, etc.) or do you think matter is "dead"(inert, empty, etc.)? If you answer this question I think the perspective will be clear to you.

Hobbes was a Christian. The midwits on the bottom row were not philosophers.

Materialism proper, as in not romantic compatibilism or quantum nonsense, is the most intellectually dignified position after Idealism.

>>19563225
Most of materialist discourse doesn't even deal with the issue of free will in order to be subjected to your pleb dichotomy. Neither does most of Idealism, btw.
