Materialism

Thus, the majority of the intellectual revolts against "materialistic" views are only vain reactions against the latest peripheral effects stemming from remote and deeper causes. These causes, incidentally, arose in a different historical context from 
the one in which the "theories" were formulated.— Evola, 1934

==== Nick Land ====
Dr. Nick Land claims that "materialism is the production of production, the materialisation of critique. Following Deleuze’s reconditioning of Kant’s critique of metaphysics, he collapses the transcendental and the material, the emprical/transcendental distinction. Claiming that thinking is a function of materiality, a schema in which matter is primary and its representation is secondary. Here there’s an auto-synthesis the potency of intensive matter (thought). Matter as machinic hyletic production; self-differentiation . The synthesis of absolute difference and absolute indifference (as we find in Schelling: intensive zero as matter in-itself). Representing/represented.
Matter itself generates its own representation, producing a transcendental illusion (my note: a Fata Morgana!) The question is how can we circumvent representation and talk about the primary process (matter in-itself)."

Concerning the metaphysical question about whether what is said to be is mind-dependent or mind-independent.
