Idealism

The view that everything depends on the mind-that the world is a construction or projection of the mind. ‪@PhiloofAlexandria‬

I need to watch that again, maybe several more times…

[@Killane10]

Quantum Physics is clearly pointing to some sort of Idealism as the core of the nature of our existence

I have watched Dr. Bonevac‘s philosophy videos over 100 times; his analytic philosophy course -some of the individual lectures I’ve up to 10 times. He is the basis for my education of philosophy hall subjects; I knew very little philosophy before him. He hits the ball out of the park virtually every time or at least gets a RBI. Thank you Dr. Bonevac. If I ever met him, I would have to try my hardest not to be rude or abusive asking question after question continuously for months and wouldn’t let him go to sleep.

There has been a recent revival of idealism, for instance, K. Ward, B. Kastrup, or in some aspects D. Hoffman too (is close). Kastrup's idealism is objective; everything is mind and we dissociate into subjects like in Vedanta (or Schopenhauer).

The end of this video was brilliant. Most people including myself tend to think that idealism is full of woo-woo and materialism is reductive. Granted, some guru types use idealism as a vehicle to smuggle in whatever woo-woo they're pedalling. However when it comes to proper philosophy, idealism is more reductive than materialism, which has to assume some physical woo-woo out there that causes our perceptions.

Show me one idealist who has lived even a minute of their life as if the external world wasn't real.

[@TheHaervin]

Very nice information, thank you.

[@nephiindustries]

Extremely good video!

The suggestion that materialism is akin to animism brightened my day.

[@superstitiousfishes1247]

reality is a perspective that has been curated for humans by God. we perceive what we perceive because it conforms to the Logos.

That wasn’t a picture of Josiah Royce. That was a picture of William James. Josiah Royce was merely in it ;-P

[@afacere736]

It is logically incoherent to be an idealist and anything other than a pure rationalist else there is no stimulus or input from which to have new experiences, ideas, creativity, inventions, etc... if the mind can only interact with itself one must be born with all the knowledge of a lifetime.

So based in yr lectures :

if you are a human you've never seen a triangle. you have seen matter arranged in the shape of a triangle many times. do not presume that there are not other ways of interpreting that particular arrangement of matter. and , by the way, i am NOT a postmodernist.
