Abstract
This brief brochure is intended to present a philosophical theory known as
relational materialism. We introduce the postulates and principles of the
theory, articulating its ontological and epistemological content using the
language of category theory. The identification of any existing entity is
primarily characterized by its relational, finite, and non-static nature.
Furthermore, we provide a categorical construction of particularities within
the relational materialist onto-epistemology. Our objective is to address and
transform a specific perspective prevalent in scientific communities into a
productive network of philosophical commitments.
