Generally, "material" is taken to be contrasted with "notional" (or in some circles "spiritual"). On the other hand, a physicalist might claim that this is exactly what he believes -- i.e. that feelings, ideas, mental images etc are solely neural flesh. And that those who claim that "consciousness" or "notions" are a different, non-material, non-spatial kind of entity are seriously mistaken. In sum, they believe in the materiality of consciousness. ************** Life should be easier. So should your homepage. Try the NEW AOL.com.
