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. | |||
Subject, philosophy: the subject is, in the most general sense, the originator of actions and creativity as well as bearer of ideas, beliefs, perceptions, feelings and moods. In the tradition of German idealism the subject is opposed to the object. More recently, there has been a shift in the focus of the discussion to questions of access to internal states. See also I, self, subjectivity, object, idealism, actions, action theory._____________Annotation: The above characterizations of concepts are neither definitions nor exhausting presentations of problems related to them.
