davvI've been very busy, which is why I haven't posted anything here lately. But university... goes. It's quite a change from earlier school: here you keep up or you're lost. And I'm falling slightly behind -- I should do something about that!
But I just thought of something which seems to be, at least in some respects, quite accurate.
"The modern materialist account is a philosophical equivalent to the idea of an end to history."
What I mean by this is that both the end of history and the materialist account seem to hold that by decisively resolving what used to be complex, where nobody could find an answer, they have dealt with the need for those complexities, and so that they have arrived at the final position.
