			Irrationalism was widespread in the late 19th and early 20th centuries and criticized the [[Enlightenment]] values of materialism, progress, reason, and [[science]]. It rejected dialectics and was deeply reactionary. Major irrationalists include [[Arthur Schopenhauer\|Schopenhauer]], [[Friedrich Nietzsche\|Nietzsche]], [[Georges Sorel\|Sorel]], [[Martin Heidegger\|Heidegger]], and [[Carl Schmitt\|Schmitt]], the last three of which openly supported [[fascism]]. [[Adolf Hitler\|Hitler]] himself stated that, "We stand at the end of the Age of Reason...A new era of the magical explanation of the world is rising, an explanation based on will rather than knowledge.

			[[Heraclitus]] was one of the first [[Dialectics\|dialectical]] philosophers in history. He created the aphorism that "you cannot step into the same river twice" and rejected the existence of the gods.<ref name=":2" />

			==== Epicureanism ====
			[[Democritus]] and [[Epicurus]] proposed that all things were made of atoms. Democritus's view was more deterministic, whereas Epicurus believed atoms would "swerve" randomly. Epicurus believed that this attraction and repulsion created the world. Marx wrote his dissertation in 1841 on the differences between Democritean and Epicurean philosophy.<ref>{{Web citation\|newspaper=International Communist Current\|title=On Marx and Epicurus\|date=2018-02-17\|url=http://en.internationalism.org/icconline/201802/14902/marx-and-epicurus\|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230706023546/http://en.internationalism.org/icconline/201802/14902/marx-and-epicurus\|archive-date=2023-07-06}}</ref>

			[[Immanuel Kant]] tried to unify rationalism and empiricism by claiming that the material and ideal worlds exist separately and independently. He said the material world exists outside of human consciousness.

			Hegel overcame Kant's dualism and proposed that ideas and material conditions are part of the same world. He believed that an absolute idea developed [[Dialectics\|dialectically]] and influenced the material world. His philosophy was a major step forward but was flawed because it prioritized ideas over material reality.<ref name=":1" />
