Vulgarized materialism

Japanese: 俗流唯物論 - ぞくりゅうゆいぶつろん(英語表記)vulgarized materialism
Vulgarized materialism
Also known as mechanistic materialism. A materialism that explains everything, including human consciousness and mental phenomena, through mechanical causal laws, and reduces everything to matter mechanically. It is said to be vulgar because it is even lower than 18th century materialism. It was popular among German biologists in the 19th century, including F. Büchner, K. Vogt, and J. Morescott. F. Engels sharply criticized it from the standpoint of dialectical materialism.

機械論的唯物論ともいわれる。機械的因果法則によって一切のもの,人間の意識や精神現象までも説明し,すべてを物質に機械的に還元する唯物論。 18世紀の唯物論よりもさらに低級という意味で俗流といわれる。 F.ビュヒナー,K.フォークト,J.モレスコットなど,特に 19世紀ドイツの生物学者の間に流行。 F.エンゲルスは弁証法的唯物論の立場からこれを鋭く批判した。
