Physicalism

Metaphysical thesis

In metaphysics, physicalism is the view that everything is physical, that there is nothing over and above the physical, and that everything supervenes on the physical. It stands in direct opposition to idealism, which asserts that reality arises from the mind. Physicalism is a form of ontological monism—a single-substance account of the nature of our universe's reality (physicalism is open to the possibility of different universes with different physics, and is open to the possibility of causal openness via a foundational logical mechanism or mechanisms), in contrast to "two-substance" (mind–body dualist) or "many-substance" (pluralist) views.
