brute matter

Helly Geybou,

Can you give us the context it was used in? (For example, was it used in comparison to "gray matter"?)

Hi Babara,

Here is the sentence from an article.

"Without denying outright the existence either of a deity or of brute matter, this perspective nevertheles rejects them as exclusive principles of interpretation and prefers to explain humans and the world in terms of humanity itself."

Thank you!

Thanks Nef. I was a little lost on this one.

You're welcome. That philosophy class was a longtime ago, but I guess there's a little left. Let's hope I'm right!
