The most important point is that "materialism is a set of ideas."
Conceptual patterns. It's all a set of ideas. ALL. Analogues,
every last bit. I wonder if Krimel would agree with this.
Materialism is the theory that physical matter is the only reality and
that being, phenomena, and process can all be explained as the affects of
matter.
"The most important point" is that beyond all the words, ideas, patterns,
qualities, metaphors, definitions, and analogs is a fundamental REALITY.
Essentially yours,

Ham,
I do understand what materialism implies. And I do understand what RMP has
written in the quote, "The MOQ is not opposed to materialism as long is it
is understood that materialism is a set of ideas." Here's a Copleston quote
that the MOQ agrees with that pulls things into perspective, "Science is
simply one level of knowledge, one aspect of the complete knowledge to which
the mind tends, even if it cannot fully actualize its ideal. Metaphysical
philosophy endeavors to complete the synthesis."
Quality is the fundamental. Words, ideas, patterns, qualities, metaphors,
definitions, and analogs are static quality.
I do not see a problem.
