In his youth Diderot was originally a follower of Voltaire and his deist Anglomanie, but gradually moved away from this line of thought towards materialism and atheism, a move which was finally realised 1747 in the philosophical debate in the second part of his La Promenade du sceptique ( 1747 ).

Philosophically, dialectical materialism — that Man originates History through active consciousness — was originated by Moses Hess, and developed by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels.

The term dialectical materialism was coined in 1887, by Joseph Dietzgen, a socialist tanner who corresponded with Karl Marx, during and after the failed 1848 German Revolution.

Marx himself had talked about the " materialist conception of history ", which was later referred to as " historical materialism " by Engels.

The exact term was not used by Marx in any of his works, and the actual presence of " dialectical materialism " within his thought remains the subject of significant controversy, particularly regarding the relationship between dialectics, ontology and nature.

Dialectical materialism is essentially characterized by the thesis that history is the product of class struggles and follows the general Hegelian principle of philosophy of history, that is the development of the thesis into its antithesis which is sublated by the Aufhebung (" synthesis "), although this three-part process was not explicitly characterized in terms of a thesis, antithesis, and synthesis in Hegel's writings.

Lenin was developing the work of Friedrich Engels, who said that " with each epoch-making discovery, even in the sphere of natural science, materialism has to change its form.

" One of Lenin's challenges was distancing materialism, as a viable philosophical outlook, from the " vulgar materialism " expressed in the statement " the brain secretes thought in the same way as the liver secretes bile " ( attributed to 18th c. physician Pierre Jean Georges Cabanis, 1757 – 1808 ); " metaphysical materialism " ( matter composed of immutable particles ); and 19th-century " mechanical materialism " ( matter as random molecules interacting per the laws of mechanics ).

The philosophic solution that Lenin ( and Engels ) proposed was " dialectical materialism ", wherein matter is defined as " objective reality ", theoretically consistent with ( new ) developments occurred in the sciences.

Georg Lukács, minister of Culture in the brief Béla Kun government of the Hungarian Soviet Republic ( 1919 ), published History and Class Consciousness ( 1923 ), which defined dialectical materialism as the knowledge of society as a whole, knowledge which, in itself, was immediately the class consciousness of the proletariat.

The theme was based on revolt against materialism, rationalism, positivism, bourgeois society and liberal democracy.

The Council was convoked to deal with the contemporary problems of the rising influence of rationalism, liberalism, and materialism.

In the early years of the 20th century, historical materialism was often treated by socialist writers as interchangeable with dialectical materialism, a formulation never used by Friedrich Engels however.

In his 1940 essay " Theses on the Philosophy of History ," scholar Walter Benjamin compares historical materialism to The Turk, an 18th Century device which was promoted as a mechanized automaton which could defeat skilled chess players but actually concealed a human who controlled the machine.

Benjamin suggested that, despite Marx's claims to scientific objectivity, historical materialism was actually quasi-religious.

" Benjamin's friend and colleague Gershom Scholem would argue that Benjamin's critique of historical materialism was so definitive that, as Mark Lilla would write, " nothing remains of historical materialism [...] but the term itself.

In 1749, Rousseau was paying daily visits to Diderot, who had been thrown into the fortress of Vincennes under a lettre de cachet for opinions in his " Lettre sur les aveugles ," that hinted at materialism, a belief in atoms, and natural selection.

Jeroboam's reign was also the period of the prophets Hosea, Joel, Jonah and Amos, all of whom condemned the materialism and selfishness of the Israelite elite of their day: " Woe unto those who lie upon beds of ivory ... eat lambs from the flock and calves ... sing idle songs ..." The book of Kings, written a century later condemns Jeroboam for doing " evil in the eyes of the Lord ", meaning both the oppression of the poor and his continuing support of the cult centres of Dan and Bethel, in opposition to the temple in Jerusalem.
