- Aspatial — Independent of space, occupying no space, having no physical dimensions, or situated outside the geometric concept of spatial extension; abstract, immaterial, or spiritual. In a philosophical context, it describes metaphysical entities or states of pure consciousness that cannot be measured or localized three-dimensionally.
- Atheist (feminine) — The feminine singular or plural form of the term 'ateu'; a female individual who denies the existence of God or any deity, adopting a materialist or agnostic-exclusive philosophical perspective. As an adjective, it agrees with feminine nouns, describing doctrines, beliefs, trends of thought, or societies structured on the absence of religious faith and mysticism.
- Atheism — A school of thought or philosophical position characterized by the absence of belief in the existence of a deity, or by the explicit, reasoned denial of God and any supernatural forces. Unlike agnosticism (which views the divine as unknown or unknowable), atheism is structurally founded on rationalism, scientific materialism, and the explanation of the universe through empirically verifiable natural laws.
- Atheist — A male individual who does not believe in the existence of God or any deity, rejecting religious dogmas and cults in favor of a rational or materialist worldview. As an adjective, it describes a person, attitude, or school of thought pertaining to atheism, grounding the analysis of the universe on natural laws and promoting freethought.
- Atomism — An ancient materialistic philosophical doctrine, formulated by Democritus and Leucippus and expanded by Epicurus and Lucretius, stating that all matter and the universe are composed of tiny, indivisible, and indestructible particles called atoms moving in a vacuum. In a modern sense, it describes theoretical or methodological orientations in physics or psychology that explain complex phenomena by reducing them to independent minimal components.
