the many senses of “materialism”
February 21, 2010
Gratton with A WITTY POST taking off from the fact that Bennett, Johnston, and Malabou all call themselves materialists.
Count me very sceptical, as well, that Zizek or even Meillassoux are actually materialists. I’m not sure how they can make that claim. To some extent words can mean whatever you stipulate them to mean, but given the usual associations of “materialism” I think there are a lot of things being called materialist these days that aren’t materialist at all.
