Idealism - Philosophy Dictionary of Arguments | |||
Idealism is a philosophical theory asserting that reality, or reality as we can know it, is fundamentally mental, mentally constructed, or otherwise immaterial. It emphasizes the central role of the mind in interpreting the world and posits that ideas or the spirit constitute the essence of reality. | |||
Reason: Reason in philosophy is the ability to think clearly and logically about the world around us. It is the capacity to draw inferences from evidence, to identify and solve problems, and to make informed decisions. Reason is often contrasted with emotion, intuition, and faith. In Hegel there is a distinction between Verstand (that recognizes the differences) and Vernunft (that reassembles them). See also Hegel, Idealism, Thinking, Mind._____________Annotation: The above characterizations of concepts are neither definitions nor exhausting presentations of problems related to them.
