Abstract

The view is meant to underline the role of matter as both material and spiritual component of human life, but mainly as fundamental tool for transforming his habitat and improving the environmental conditions of his comfort and the Earth safeguard. One of the meanings of matter’s concept within this context can emerge from Schopenhauer’s thought, modern philosopher inspired indeed by the phenomenal reality. Some definitions of matter are then explained and deepened so as to extract some fil rouge along man’s history of science and technique. Matter role within man’s social development, the interface with energy and finally the role of materials in architecture are outlined.
