concept of matter in philosophy began to take shape in antiquity.Even the ancient Greek philosopher Democritus, it was observed that with the help of information on the origin of matter is quite impossible to explain the origin of the other.
Matter philosophy
human knowledge over time, improved, improved understanding of the structure of the body.Scientists have found that bodies are composed of atoms, which are a kind of very small "brick".The discrete map of the world existed until about the end of the nineteenth century - while being presented as the specific interaction of discrete (the smallest) of particulate matter.
little later, opened a completely new information about atoms.What is important is that they are not simple particles (an electron), and very complicated in their structure.Also note that new information gave another opportunity to consider the concept of field.Recall that the original field was perceived as the space surrounding an object.This does not contradict the knowledge that the matter is a substance as a field perceived something of substance attribute.
Later it was proved that this field - it is not only an attribute of the subject, but also a kind of independent reality.Together with the material field is a special type of matter.In this form its continuity rather than discontinuity becomes the main feature.
Characteristics of matter:
- self-organization;
- motions;
- ability to repel;
- Housed in time and space.
The elements of the structure of matter traditionally include:
- wildlife;
- society;
- wildlife.
Any matter exhibits the ability to self-organization - that is able to reproduce itself without any external forces.Fluctuation - is random variations and fluctuations that are inherent in the matter.This term is used to describe her internal changes.As a result of this kind of matter changes over time it turns into nothing but a completely new state.Change, it can be lost completely or continue to consolidate and continue to exist.
Western society mostly tends to idealism.This can be explained by the fact that materialism is traditionally associated with real-mechanical conception of matter.This problem is solvable through dialectical materialism, the concept of which is considering the matter in the light of the knowledge of natural science, it gives her definition, eliminates the need for connection to the material.
Matter in philosophy - it is something that exists in a variety of specific systems and structures, among which there is no limit.Specific forms of matter do not contain primary, unchanging and non-structured substance.All the material objects have the system organization, as well as the internal ordering.The first order is shown in interaction elements of matter, as well as their patterns of movement.Due to this, all these elements form a system.
space and time - a universal form of existence of matter.Its properties appear in the universal laws of its existence.
problem matter in philosophy
Lenin defined the matter on the basis of its relationship with consciousness.He saw the matter as a category that exists in the relationship, feeling displays, but for all that exists quite independently of them.
Matter in philosophy rather unusually seen in dialectical materialism.In this case, the concept is not much of it linked to questions about its structure and structure.
In dialectical materialism, there are two judgments that perechat basic concept of the philosophy of matter:
- not all manifestations of matter are given in sensation;
- matter can be determined through the consciousness, the decisive role in this relation will play it out.
In defense of dialectical materialism:
- in sensations matter is given not only directly but also indirectly.Man can not perceive it completely, as is limited in its ability to sensitive;
- matter in the philosophy of infinite and is self-sufficient.Because of this, it does not need self-awareness.
concept of matter as a kind of objective reality in dialectical materialism characterizes its only substance that has a set of properties, the structure of its laws, development, movement and function.
