"The
chief defect of all hitherto existing materialism - that of Feuerbach
included - is that the thing, reality, sensuousness, is conceived only
in the form of the object or of contemplation, but not as human sensuous
activity, practice, not subjectively."
Marx, First Thesis on Feuerbach
"Materialism will be seen as a senile idealism to the extent that it is
not immediately based on psychological or social facts, instead of on
artificially isolated physical phenomenon."
Georges Bataille "Materialism" in Visions of Excess
About Me
- William Koch
- Tampa, Florida, United States
- I am a student of philosophy, a teacher and a writer. I grew up on the Jersey Shore working on my family's fishing boat and dealing with tourists. I spent my undergraduate years in Boston, a city I desperately love and miss. My graduate years were spent at the University of South Florida in Tampa Florida, a city I only grudgingly learned to love. I am currently a resident of New York City.
