Metaphysicians call that view "libertarianism" (what a confusing name huh?). Basically, libertarianism, is the view that free will and determinism are incompatible, but we have free will, so materialism is false.
Not all libertarians reject materialism - there is the view (not mine; I'm a compatibilist) that indeterminism in physical laws is sufficient for libertarian free will.
You are right. My last sentence should have read:
Basically, libertarianism, is the view that free will and determinism are incompatible, but we have free will, so determinism is false.
(I don't think we are talking about the same thing. My view is, approximately, "contemptuous compatibilism".)
