Materialism - A Historical and Philosophical Inquiry

Summary

Opening with materialism’s early thinkers, including Epicurus, Hobbes and Hume up to Darwin and Marx, Brown and Ladyman explain how materialism’s beginnings as imaginative vision of the true natures and properties of things faced a major challenge from modern physics, in the form of quantum theory and the general theory of relativity.
