MATERIALISM / IDEALISM



 There are some materialists who would premise their argument on the absence of God  But the material world is premised on the micro structures of mutual attraction at its sub-atomic or nuclear level. As Ulloor’s poetry has brilliantly put it: Padartha nira than prathamaatmagunam parasparaakarsham” (The basic quality of the material world is mutual attraction.). When we look at the ‘material’ at that level, we will easily come to see that the material as we know it is not without God, and that God gives this coherence to things. So the argument that there could be a separation of the spiritual and material worlds, and that philosophy could be immanent and separate  from theology, or the thinking about God and the world as in secularism, which proposes that Caesar be paid his due, or that worldly authority be established and maintained(as in Immanuel Kant)  that premises the state upon it, is a false one,  .
