WHAT DOES IMMATERIALITY MEAN IN ENGLISH?

immateriality

Incorporeality

Incorporeal or uncarnate means without a physical body, presence or form. It is often used in reference to souls, spirits, the Christian God or the Divine. In ancient philosophy, any attenuated "thin" matter such as air, ether, fire or light was considered incorporeal. The ancient Greeks believed air, as opposed to solid earth, to be incorporeal, in so far as it is less resistant to movement; and the ancient Persians believed fire to be incorporeal in that every soul was said to be produced from it. In modern philosophy, a distinction between the incorporeal and immaterial is not necessarily maintained: a body is described as incorporeal if it is not made out of matter. In the problem of universals, universals are separable from any particular embodiment in one sense, while in another, they seem inherent nonetheless. Aristotle offered a hylomorphic account of abstraction in contrast to Plato's world of Forms. Aristotle used the Greek terms soma and hyle. Whereas modern readers often take "incorporeal" to be equivalent to "nonmaterial," this is not Aristotle's view.
