Recorded use
Wiktionary examplesThese source excerpts show how materialistisch appears in context. They illustrate usage; the definition above remains the entry’s reference meaning.
Gehen wir von einer materialistischen Weltanschauung aus, so besitzen wir keine unsterbliche Seele.
„Der Satz einer materialistischen Erkenntnislehre ‚Alles ist Materie‘ entbehrt des Bezugssystems von Satzsubjekt und Satzaussage, in dem überhaupt seine Richtigkeit aussagbar wäre. Die Erkenntnis von Materie als Materie setzt ein wesentliches Anderssein gegenüber der Materie voraus, das man den Geist oder die Immaterialität der Seele nennt.“
