A wholly new theory of matter has been advanced in the last half century by modern physics, but there has been no new theory of ma- terialism to match it. The occurrence of a revolution of such magni- tude in science will have to be understood as calling for a corresponding one in philosophy. The present work is an attempt to make a start in that direction. Grateful acknowledgment is hereby made to the Editors of the fol- lowing journals for permission to reprint articles which first appeared in their pages: to Darshana for Human Nature and Institutions; to Diogenes for Full Concreteness and the Re-Materialization of Matter; to Perspectives in Biology and Medicine for The Ambiva- lence of Aggression and the Moralization of Man; to Philosophy and Phenomenological Research for Formal Materialism Reconfirmed (which appears here revised and extended as Formal Materialism: The New Version), and for Artifactualism: The Origin of Man and His Tools; to Philosophy Today for How Abstract Objects Survive; to Religious Studies for A Religion for the New Materialism; and to Tulane Studies in PhilosoPhy for A Material Theory of Reference. PART ONE INTRODUCTION AND METHOD CHAPTER I THE SUBJECTIVE DIGRESSION Every philosophy endeavors to be as comprehensive as possible, and when philosophers speak they do so for the whole world.
