Materialists and Mentalists...

Materialists of the scientific kind believe that there is a real material world of nature which is reflected, through sensation and thought, in the human mind.

Materialists of the religious kind hold the same belief but add to it belief in a second real world--that of the Spirit.

Mentalists reject this belief in a material world and declare the latter to be an appearance to sensation, an idea to thought;

they know only a single reality--MIND--and a direct relationship only with its products--ideas.
