Materialist
Answer
Materialism, the philosophical belief that physical matter is the only reality, underpins Bunge's realist worldview. He advocates for a scientific approach to understanding the world, based on the assumption that all phenomena, including mental states, can be explained in terms of physical processes. Bunge's materialism rejects dualism, which posits the existence of both physical and non-physical realms, and instead emphasizes the unity of the natural world.
