Good video.
I also remember young Solovyov (d. 1900) — founder of modern Russian philosophy — who, while discussing Spinoza, put a quite ‘’simple’’ argument : every major philosopher defined matter as (metaphysically) *passive* ; that is, it needs a a principle which is ontologically *higher/superior* to it, which is thus beyond the material (Guénon has good pages on it.)
So, you can’t base a ‘’philosophy’’ on something so self-insufficient, it’s not an essence/primary principle/etc.
Not even mentioning the discoveries of modern physics, esp. quantum mechanics, which challenge the 19th materialistic vision of matter (that you can find in positivism and even major trends of neo-Kantianism.)
Good synthetic book on the question (Oxford publication):
