====== 唯物主义 vs 唯心主义 ======
The {{iconify|Materialist}}-{{iconify|Spiritualist}} dichotomy axis governs attitudes towards epistemology[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epistemology]] and how the empire views the mind–body problem[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mind–body_problem]].

{{iconify|Materialist}} empires trust science over belief and view the universe as a field of material objects with material value. They believe that reason and knowledge are cornerstones of progress, while dogmas and superstitions are shackles on civilization. The more fanatic materialists believe that ''only'' the physical world exists, and even non-physical entities such as minds and thought can be reduced to physical processes.
* They have increased Research Speed, which means they obtain technologies faster than other empires and usually comes to a technological advantage.
* They also have decreased Robots upkeep, which means they need fewer {{iconify|Energy}} to sustain Robotic populations. They are also more likely to draw Robot technologies.
* Materialist empires can access the {{icon|policy}} '''Academic Privilege''' living standard, which is similar to Authoritarian's Stratified Economy. Academic Privilege increases the {{iconify|consumer goods}} upkeep of Specialists and also drastically increases the resource output of {{iconify|Researcher}}s as well as increasing {{iconify|Ruler}} and {{iconify|Specialist}} happiness. Specialists enjoy a very large increase to their Political Power, while Rulers enjoy a smaller increase. This has the effect of Specialists' happiness contributing the most to a planet's {{iconify|Stability}}, due to their large numbers compared to Ruler strata.
* The restriction is, they cannot use {{icon|policy}} '''Outlawed''' AI policy and Robotic Worker policy. They are also blocked from accessing the {{iconify|Psionics}} technologies through usual means.

{{iconify|Spiritualist}} empires trust belief over science and believe that consciousness brings reality into existence, that is, reality cannot exist without minds to perceive it. They view the universe as a dream we all happen to share and that minds exist beyond the physical world. They believe that unity and faith are keys to ascension. They are suspicious and dismissive of robots and artificial intelligence, treating them as no more than blocks of hard matter that cannot be "taught" true consciousness.
* They have increased {{iconify|Unity}} output, this translates into a faster progress of {{icon|Tradition}} [[Traditions]] and eventually Ascension Perks.
** This can be further improved with the {{iconify|Traditional}} species trait.
* They also have a lowered cost for {{icon|Edict}} [[Edicts]], which is a method of investing various resources to give empire-wide bonuses.
** A {{iconify|Fanatic Spiritualist}} empire with {{iconify|Democratic}} or {{iconify|Oligarchic}} authority or {{iconify|Imperial}} authority and the {{iconify|Imperial Cult}} civic combined with the {{iconify|Cutthroat Politics}} civic will have an impressive {{green|-50%}} or {{green|-55%}} discount to edicts, respectively, allowing them to issue edicts at half the normal price.
* Spiritualist empires have better odds in drawing the {{iconify|Psionics}} technologies for research.
* Spiritualists have access to the '''Temple''' building line, a replacement to the Autochthon Monument building line. Temple buildings increase {{iconify|Spiritualist}} ethics attraction, and their {{iconify|Priest}} jobs produce a large amount of {{iconify|Amenities}} as well as Unity and Society research.
** Combined with the {{iconify|Exalted Priesthood}} civic, {{iconify|Priest}}s become very effective at producing 3 resources in one building that other empires would need two buildings (Autochthon Monument and Holo-Theatre) to produce.
* The restriction is, they cannot use {{icon|policy}} '''Full Rights''' AI policy and utilizing Robotic Workers can enrage their factions.
