To elucidate the paradigm of modern materials civilization, typical materials civilizations keeping the coexistence of human culture with natural system from pre-modern times and typical technologies characterizing modern materials civilization are taken notice.
The paradigms of the typical materials civilizations and the typical technologies are fundamentally discussed by use of structuralism analysis method. And their structuralism structures are respectively and qualitatively elucidated by the analysis mentioned above.The characterizations of these structures are described by structuralism structure diagram.
As a result, the following conclusions are obtained.
1) The paradigms of typical materials civilizations keeping the coexistence of human culture with natural system are described by the structuralism structure balancing between two mutually contradictory transformation structures.
2) The paradigm of pillage between two mutually different civilizations or civilization and natural system forms single irreversible physics or meta-physics transformation structure (natural system to culture, civilization to another one).
3) The paradigm of each typical technology characterizing modern materials civilization contains a negative irreversible meta-physics transformation structure introducing negative accumulation into civilization. In particular, technologies such as car, computer, atomic power generation, and genetic engineering produce the paradigm including unstable, austismic, threatening or fearful phase.
