Why materialists are predominantly materialists

[Mudhammam]

Why don't you try and describe to me a non-material something. Anything at all. I'll wait.

I might start with the relations between the various properties discovered by experimenting with different functions that can be developed in abstract thought using these non-material objects :


Or you can always follow Plato's lead, and consider what on earth it could mean to call the True, the Good, and the Beautiful "material." Or "being," "one," "thing," "something," "substance," etc., none of which are "material entities" if by matter you mean the collection of objects that relate to sense perception.
