	Idealism - Psychology Wiki - A Wikia wiki
		Schopenhauer's history is an account of the concept of the "ideal" in its meaning as "ideas in a subject's mind." In this sense, "ideal" means "ideational" or "existing in the mind as an image." He does not refer to the other meaning of "ideal" as being qualities of the highest perfection and excellence.
		British idealism enjoyed ascendancy in English-speaking philosophy in the later part of the 19th century.
		In general parlance, "idealism" or "idealist" is also used to describe a person having high ideals, sometimes with the connotation that those ideals are unrealisable or at odds with "practical" life.

	Fides Quaerens Intellectum » Russell on Berkeleyan Idealism
		The key idea behind Berkeley’s idealism follows his famous maxim: “To be is to be perceived.” [For more on Berkeley’s philosophy see this article.] I start with Bertrand Russell’s criticism of idealism because one of Russell’s most important contributions to philosophy is his debunking of idealism (primarily British idealism of the late 1800s).
		The reason Berkeleyan idealism seems feasible to me is, first of all, (said without argument due to lack of relevance to the current discussion) I think that minds and everything mental is not material and thus materialism is ruled out.
		Idealism is attractive from the start because it obviously solves, or rather dissolves, the (one?) serious issue of dualism, namely, the problem of mind-body interaction.

	G. E. Moore [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy]
		For the British Idealists, psychologism was a consequence of the doctrine of internal relations as the latter applies to the ontology of cognition.
		Asserting that all forms of Idealism rest on the claim that esse is percipi (“to be is to be perceived,” or, as Moore treats it, “to be is to be experienced”), Moore argues that the claim is false.
		Ideal utilitarianism, therefore, will be a brand of utilitarianism in which actions are to be ordered not to the greatest happiness or pleasure, but to those states of affairs possessing the highest degree of good.

	Bernard Bosanquet (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy)
		Bernard Bosanquet (1848-1923), British philosopher, political theorist and social reformer, was one of the principal exponents (with F.H. Bradley) of late nineteenth and early twentieth century ‘Absolute Idealism.’
		Bosanquet is generally considered to be one of the most ‘Hegelian’ of the British Idealists, though the extent to which the term ‘Hegelian’ is appropriate or illuminating in describing his work has been a matter of some recent debate.
		“Absolute Idealism,” Proceedings of the British Academy, LVII (1971): 303- 329.

	2.1 Philosophical Idealism
		Personal Idealism is defined as "the view that the minds that underlie reality are the minds of persons." (60) Personal Idealism rejects the idea that there is one single mind behind all the minds that perceive.
		Others, however, consider objective Idealism to be the same as absolute Idealism: "This is a form of Idealism whereby reality, though mental or spiritual, does not depend on the human mind in particular but comprises a single spiritual entity." (5) This one single entity is then called the Absolute.
		Absolute Idealism may be defined as "the view that the existence of material things depends upon one underlying mental reality rather than upon the mental contents of individual observers," (60) hereby distinguishing it from types of Idealism that place more value on the individual.

	ISSEI 2000 - section IV - workshops
		The British Idealists were the philosophers who introduced into Britain the philosophical discourse of German Idealism, especially the Kantian and Hegelian systems, and made a critical and significant re-assessment of its fundamental doctrines.
		The British Idealists were critically engaged in a fruitful philosophical dialogue with the Italian and American exponents of Philosophical Idealism and with the disciples of different philosophical traditions such as utilitarianism and realism.
		The British Idealists drew on the philosophical doctrines of the Greek philosophers (esp. Plato and Aristotle), the philosophical systems of German Idealism, and the insights of the British philosophical tradition (Hobbes, Hume, Locke), and produced philosophical work which made original contributions to Aesthetics, Ethics, Logic, Metaphysics, Theology, and to the Social and Political Philosophy.

	Boer War - Military Photos
		After a British force under George Pomeroy-Collery was heavily defeated at the Battle of Majuba Hill in February 1881 the British government of Gladstone gave the Boers self-government in the Transvaal under a theoretical British oversight.
		The Boers were able to successfully besiege the British garrisons in the towns of Ladysmith, Mafeking (defended by troops headed by Robert Baden-Powell) and Kimberley and inflicted three separate defeats on the British in one week, December 10 to 15, 1899.
		It was not until reinforcements arrived on February 14, 1900 that British troops commanded by Lord Roberts could launch counter-offences to relieve the garrisons (the relief of Mafeking on May 18, 1900 provoked riotous celebrations in England) and enabled the British to take Bloemfontein on March 13 and the Boer capital, Pretoria, on June 5.

	Free Essay Influence Of British Romanticism On British Literature
		Just as Rousseau and Gibbon left their permanent marks on British literature and philosophy, the same can be said about author and scholar Johann Wolfgang von Goethe.
		As style was vital to Romanticism, William Wordsworth is said to be one of the most important and influential poets of British literature.
		It is, fundamentally, a state of mind, a particular outlook on life, in which the human emotions and the human imagination act upon facts, either accepting them or leaving them alone, since the romanticist is interested chiefly in considering things as he would like them to be rather than as they necessarily are (Anderson 269).

	The American Question Abroad in the Civil War, Part 1
		British aristocrats like the Marquis of Lothian, the Marquis of Bath, Lord Robert Cecil, and Lord Wharncliffe thought that the success of the Confederacy would give a much needed check to democracy, both in America and in Europe.
		Already fearful of Northern economic competition, which threatened the supremacy of the British merchant marine and challenged the pre-eminence of British manufactures, the English middle classes were alienated when the Republicans adopted the Morrill tariff of 1861.
		Northern appeals to British idealism were undercut when Seward, early in the war, explicitly declared that the conflict was not being waged over slavery and would not disturb the South's peculiar institution.

		British wartime propaganda, both academic and popular, claimed that this ideology was best epitomized by three German thinkers: Friedrich Nietzsche, the hypernationalist historian Heinrich von Treitschke, and General Friedrich von Bernhardi.
		And so was that of British philosophers who focused on Nietzsche, Treitschke, and Bernhardi and vulgarized versions of Kant, Fichte, and Hegel to claim a fundamental difference between German and British wartime philosophy.

		It would come to have a profound impact on many future philosophical schools, including schools that opposed Hegel's specific dialectical idealism, such as Existentialism, the historical materialism of Karl Marx, historicism, and British Idealism.
		In Britain, Hegel exercised an influence on the philosophical school called "British Idealism," which included Francis Herbert Bradley and Bernard Bosanquet, in England, and Josiah Royce at Harvard.
		Analytic philosophy, which dominated philosophy departments in the United States and the United Kingdom, was virtually founded when G. Moore and Bertrand Russell rejected British Idealism and their colleagues' admiration for Hegel.

		Thus, Idealism was a brand of metaphysical monism, but not a form of materialism, the other leading form of metaphysical monism.
		This left Idealism open to the charge of endorsing psychologism—the view that apparently objective truths are to be accounted for in terms of the operations of subjective cognitive or “psychological” faculties.

		However, it is not idealism per se, but a particular kind of idealism, of which Rhodies are typically imbued, that is the problem under consideration here.
		And it is certainly not an idealism proceeding from an "ideological vacuum." If that were the case, we would expect to see idealism manifested and expressed in a diversity of shapes and forms, as for instance: Christian idealism versus humanist/pagan/atheist idealism, individualist versus collectivist idealism, libertarian versus totalitarian idealism, nationalist versus globalist idealism, etc.
		The Oxonian idealism, however, seems to run almost invariably along the humanist/pagan/atheist, collectivist, totalitarian, globalist, elitist lines.

		It is argued that Oakeshott’s conception of political activity shifted from a near contempt of politics towards the applauding of politics as a deliberative and reflective activity.
		The lasting impact of Green’s teachings on British and Western political philosophy, apparent in the current vogue for communitarianism in liberal theory, indicates limitations of the “secularization thesis” still tacitly accepted by historians of Western political thought.
		It has been widely argued that Green’s relationship with idealism seemed to be infected by a religious germ which, because it was unrelated to German idealism, gave it a bad taste.
