• Abstract

  • This paper attempts to understand the coexistence of the
    • material and
    • non-material
  • aspects of our lives.
  • By synthesizing ideas about
    • structures,
    • physical entities,
    • mental phenomena, and
    • symbolic relations,
  • we argue that
    • the nonmaterial can emerge from the material, and
    • then the nonmaterial may mediate the production of material entities.
  • Finally, this cycle is applied to notions of creativity and invention.

• Comment

  • the authors are situated in materialism that explains non-materialism as an epi-phenomena
