	Objective idealism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Objective idealism is an idealistic metaphysics that postulates that there is in an important sense only one perceiver, and that this perceiver is one with that which is perceived.
		Plato is regarded as one of the earliest representatives of objective idealism.
		[1] It is distinct from the subjective idealism of George Berkeley, and it abandons the thing-in-itself of Kant's dualism.

	Encyclopedia Barfieldiana: Objective Idealism
		Objective idealism contends, as Sanderson explains in Worlds Apart, that "if you start from the brain and say it 'constructs' the world it is aware of, you.
		Objective idealism is so counter-intuitive that general acceptance of its truth will not come easily.
		Objective idealism contends that the disjunction is itself an unreal one, and that reality, individual being, however you think of it, consists in the polarity between the subjectivity of the individual mind and the objective world which it perceives.

	idealism - HighBeam Encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		In modern times idealism has largely come to refer the source of ideas to man's consciousness, whereas in the earlier period ideas were assigned a reality outside and independent of man's existence.
		The post-Kantian German idealism of J. Fichte and Friedrich von Schelling, which culminated in the absolute or objective idealism of G. Hegel, began with a denial of the unknowable thing-in-itself, thereby enabling these philosophers to treat all reality as the creation of mind or spirit.
		Forms of post-Kantian idealism were developed in Germany by Arthur Schopenhauer and Hermann Lotze and in England by Samuel Coleridge; forms of post-Hegelian idealism were developed in England and France by T. Green, Victor Cousin, and C. Renouvier.

		Scientific determinations of the ideal are therefore obtained by way of a materialist analysis of the ‘anatomy and physiology’ of the social production of the material and spiritual life of society, and in no case of the anatomy and physiology of the brain as an organ of the individual’s body.
		The ideal image of the object is distinguished from the structure of the brain and language in principle by the fact that it is the form of the external object.
		Idealism on the contrary consists in affirming that price, since it is only an ideal form, exists solely as a subjective, psychic phenomenon, the interpretation that was given by none other than Bishop Berkeley, who wrote not only as a philosopher but also as an economist.

	Idealism
		Idealism is, to a large extent, an opposite view to scientific and material viewpoints that asserts the importance of internal individual perceptions.
		Idealism is opposed to many philosophies that stress material matter, including Empiricism, Positivism, Skepticism, Atheism and Materialism.
		Logical Positivism particularly criticizes Idealism for the lack of verifiability of its ideas and hence questions the usefulness of the whole approach.

	John Dewey: The Influence of Darwin on Philosophy and Other Essays: Chapter 8: Experience and Objective Idealism (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		The contention of idealism, here bound up with rationalism, is that perception and observation cannot guarantee knowledge in its honorific sense (science) ; that the peculiar differentia of scientific knowledge is a constancy, a universality, and necessity that contrast at every point with perceptual data., and that indispensably require the function of conception.
		Without idealization, that is, without conception of the favorable issue that the present, defined in terms of precedents, may portend in its transition, the recollection of precedents, and the formulation of tentative rules is nonsense.
		The irrelevancy of an objective idealism lies in the fact that it totally ignores the position and function of ideality in sustained and serious endeavor.

	Introduction to The Goals of Awareness
		In physics we may call the inclusion of this paradigm Objective Idealism, apparent in our ‘scientific method’ with empirical certainty as the intellective ground of every practical advance in what is the utility of ‘science’.
		But the objective is aligned in synthesis with the subjective in the latter’s relation with the transcendental, then importing its purely formal principles of relation to stabilize awareness and make concrete the personality of the individual in the whole realm of experience, which is the inner realm of the 'cube'.
		The objective then has its just relation as an aspect of awareness to its compliment, the subjective, while restricted in function to its proper logic, call it the integrity, of formal relations to perfect the proper development of character.

	GEORGE BERKELEY: Sophia on the web: Articles about Philosophers and Philosophical Topics
		Idealism (of the subjective kind) is the theory that the universe is an embodiment of the mind.
		Objective idealism is the view that the world out there is Mind (or God) communicating with our (human) minds.
		OBJECTIVE + SUBJECTIVE (1) Realists are likely to charge that idealism goes beyond all empirical evidence and that its "proofs" resort to metaphor and flights of the imagination based on the hopes and wishes of men.

		The one intelligible theory of theory of the universe is that of objective idealism, that matter is effete mind, inveterate habits becoming physical laws.
		So his objective idealism is not an idealism like that of Bishop Berkeley--it is not the claim that everything that is, is an idea, or an instance of mind, or a mental substance, or some such.
		Rather, it is the claim that as the universe evolved from a state of complete disorder to one of greater order and regularity, the first sorts of regularity to appear were the laws that govern thought; and out of those regularities evolved the still more definite, determinate, and mechanical laws that govern the physical.

	Rhetorica: Press-Politics Journal: Objective schizophrenia...
		The problem is that too many journalists burden their working definitions of "objectivity" with the pristine, philosophical ideal.
		And a bias, even one in which its practitioners are unaware of its political ramifications, is by definition not objective (a fact that the author does acknowledge later in the article).
		Objectivity in journalism is not a position; it is a process--much like the scientific process--in which the reporter attempts to arrive at the closest approximation of truth (always bound by socio-political and historic contexts).

		In that, too, the idealism of Hegel’s conception of thinking was revealed; and it was the specifically Hegelian objective idealism that converted thought into some new god, into some supernatural force existing outside man and dominating him.
		The sensuously objective activity of the millions of people who by their labour created the body of culture, the self-consciousness of which is scientific thought, remained outside Hegel’s field of view, seemed to him the ‘prehistory’ of thought.
		That was the deepest root of Hegel’s idealism.

	Experience and Objective Idealism John Dewey
		Dewey views idealism as having a combination of opposition to present experience with a devotion to the cause of experience.
		Idealism conceives of thought as a priori, which functions to constitute the possibility of any objective experience that goes beyond mere subjective happenings.
		The notions of idealism are not equipped to deal with this change in a way that allows for growth and improvement in the midst of these changing experiences.

	Subjective idealism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Subjective idealism is a theory in the philosophy of perception.
		Subjective idealism is monist, because it states that only the mind exists (matter is a result of our perception).
		Subjective idealism is featured prominently in the Norwegian novel Sophie's World, in which "Sophie's world" exists in fact only in the pages of a book.

	The nature of reality
		Idealism and dualism generally take a similar view, though they may regard consciousness as a contributing factor in its emergence.
		According to idealism, then, everything is a manifestation or modification of consciousness, whereas according to materio-idealism everything is a manifestation or modification of consciousness-substance (or consciousness-life-substance).
		But objective idealism, or materio-idealism, says that the physical world is relatively real for the beings temporarily inhabiting it, and is an illusion only in the sense that we do not see it for what it really is -- the projection or outer manifestation of inner, more ethereal realms.

	AMERICAN PHILOSOPHY: Idealism in America
		Idealism is the philosophical view that the mind or spirit constitutes the fundamental reality.
		Objective idealism accepts common sense realism (the view that material objects exist) but rejects naturalism (according to which the mind and spiritual values have emerged from material things), whereas subjective idealism denies that material objects exist independently of human perception and thus stands opposed to both realism and naturalism.
		Royce's idealism combined the rationalism of system building and proof of the Absolute with traits of American philosophy: the appeal to experience, voluntarism, and the focus on ideas as plans of action, not as purely cognitive entities.

	2.1 Philosophical Idealism
		Ian Heath, however, defines objective Idealism as a type of Idealism that adds to the experience of subjective Idealism (which is considered “static”) relationships that are dynamic.
		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.

	Modality and Computational Metaphysics
		Subjective idealism is not a rationalist idealism, and indeed not really a "pure" form of idealism at all, since it adds to the system "the thinker" as something other than just another idea that can be thought of.
		Objective reality as "everything that can be thought of" did not necessarily mean for him that the things to be thought of were mental.
		It is ironic that the term "analytic philosophy" can thus be taken as virtually synonymous with "objective idealism", a brand of philosophy that real-world analytic philosophers considered it part of their founding mandate to eradicate.

		Her association of realism with the acceptance of things as they are and must be and of anti-realism with evasion and cowardice before the truth constitutes a very genuine insight into the psychological motives behind every effort to deny or explain away the independent reality of material existence.
		But in the nineteenth century, objective idealism was very influential among the English and American professoriat, and included, among its expositors, some of the leading illuminaries of the day.
		She sought the "ideal man" of her fantasies, a bloodless creature who was little more than a money making machine that went around attacking venerable traditions and spouting ideological slogans.

		Contrary to Objective Idealism, it affirms positively that the objective reality given us by sensations, is the only reality, and there is no other reality either hidden behind the former or basically different from it.
		Objective reality is the source of our knowledge, and the concept of matter has been developed specifically to designate it.
		Yet another related issue is the one about the properties of objective reality and whether or not it possesses some universal categorical characteristics and, if so, what is the way in which these become revealed in the process of cognition.

	HUMANISM, IDEALISM, MATERIALISM
		Idealism in one way or another gives primacy to mind (leaving out theistic idealism, which asserts God as most fundamental) over body.
		Material substances and processes may have no existence independent of mind (subjective idealism) or while existing, this reality may express human purposes and values; or reality's basic nature may be mind in that our conceptions of reality are more determined by mind than matter itself (objective idealism).
		The father of Western idealism was Parmenides of Elea (sixth century B.C.), who argued that all things are one--a unity underlying appearance--and that motion and change are unreal.

		Idealism can also be understood as the practice of understanding abstractions through other abstractions; where an abstraction is something that has no basis or relation to reality, but only exists in relation to other abstractions.
		Idealism may reject the existence of the external world (the world beyond thought, beyond sensation) altogether or assert that while a world beyond sensation may exist, it is unknowable.
		On the other hand, idealism may accept the objectivity of nature but regard the material as the expression of ideal forces such as the Will of God, the absolute Idea, etc whose nature is accessible to the Mind directly.

	Ralph Dumain: "The Autodidact Project": Maurice Cornforth: Marxism and the Linguistic Philosophy: I.5.5: The Refutation ...
		Nevertheless, the news got around that in Germany spiritual ideals had been preached opposed to the sordid material calculations which had become associated with British empiricism, and so a very amorphous philosophy was concocted, which claimed to base itself "on Kant and Hegel", although it had none of the rigour and realism of Hegel's dialectic.
		When Russell proclaimed his opposition to "the classical tradition", which sought by a priori arguments to prove that the world is different from what it seems, he was not, in fact, opposing any tradition which could justifiably rank as "classical", but only the foggy verbiage of the contemporary British absolute idealists.
		Instead, science was still to be regarded as the source of positive knowledge; the dogmas of laissez faire economics were to be corrected by more objective social studies, combining factual surveys with mathematical calculations; and the values of the good life were to be freed from subordination to both social utility and supernatural authority.

	Goswami's monistic idealism: an appraisal
		Instead, he advocates 'monistic idealism', the philosophy that defines consciousness as the primary reality, the ground of all being, and regards the objects of empirical reality as epiphenomena of consciousness.
		It teaches an 'objective idealism': all finite, manifested beings and things are temporary manifestations of the ultimate reality of consciousness-life-substance.
		Goswami's monistic idealism, like theosophy, teaches that we are all part of one all-encompassing consciousness and that separateness is an illusion, and advocates the same noble and inspiring ethics as all the great religious and mystical traditions -- the ethics of responsibility, compassion, forgiveness, altruism, service, and universal brotherhood.
