Materie uden isme : Fra antikkens materialismekritik til en an-archistisk metafysik

Bro Clemmensen, Rasmus LU (2025) In Tidsskriftet Paradoks
Abstract
In this article I first follow Aristotle's and Plato's critique of materialism in an ancient context, then, in order to bring the topic into a more modern discussion, I follow Marx' dissertation on Democritos and Epicurus in its attempts to counter this critique from a materialist standpoint. Finally I conclude in reaffirming and nuancing Aristotle's critique, showing the limits of using matter as an arché, a principal foundation, of metaphysics.
