idealism or metaphysical idealism, is the set of <a href="/wiki/Metaphysics" title="Metaphysics">metaphysical</a> perspectives asserting that, most fundamentally, <a href="/wiki/Reality" title="Reality">reality</a> is equivalent to <a href="/wiki/Mind" title="Mind">mind</a>, <a href="/wiki/Spirit_(vital_essence)" class="mw-redirect" title="Spirit (vital essence)">spirit</a>, or <a href="/wiki/Consciousness" title="Consciousness">consciousness</a>; that reality is entirely a mental construct; or that ideas are the highest type of reality or have the greatest claim to being considered "real".<a href="#cite_note-1">[1]</a><a href="#cite_note-:1ix-2">[2]</a> Because there are different types of idealism, it is difficult to define the term uniformly. <a href="/wiki/Indian_philosophy" title="Indian philosophy">Indian philosophy</a> contains some of the first defenses of idealism, such as in <a href="/wiki/Vedanta" title="Vedanta">Vedanta</a> and in <a href="/wiki/Shaivism" title="Shaivism">Shaiva</a> <a href="/wiki/Pratyabhijna" title="Pratyabhijna">Pratyabhijña</a> thought. These systems of thought argue for an all-pervading consciousness as the true nature and ground of reality. Idealism is also found in some streams of <a href="/wiki/Buddhism" title="Buddhism">Mahayana Buddhism</a>, such as in the <a href="/wiki/Yogachara" title="Yogachara">Yogācāra</a> school, which argued for a "mind-only" (cittamatra) philosophy on an analysis of subjective experience. In the West, idealism traces its roots back to <a href="/wiki/Plato" title="Plato">Plato</a> in ancient Greece, who proposed that absolute, unchanging, timeless ideas constitute the highest form of reality: <a href="/wiki/Platonic_idealism" class="mw-redirect" title="Platonic idealism">Platonic idealism</a>. This was revived and transformed in the early modern period by <a href="/wiki/Immanuel_Kant" title="Immanuel Kant">Immanuel Kant</a>'s arguments that our knowledge of reality is completely based on mental structures: <a href="/wiki/Transcendental_idealism" title="Transcendental idealism">transcendental idealism</a>.<a href="#cite_note-:1ix-2">[2]</a> <a href="/wiki/Epistemology" title="Epistemology">Epistemologically</a>, idealism is accompanied by a rejection of the possibility of knowing the existence of any thing independent of mind. <a href="/wiki/Ontology" title="Ontology">Ontologically</a>, idealism asserts that the existence of all things depends upon the mind; thus, ontological idealism rejects the perspectives of <a href="/wiki/Physicalism" title="Physicalism">physicalism</a> and <a href="/wiki/Dualism_(philosophy_of_mind)" class="mw-redirect" title="Dualism (philosophy of mind)">dualism</a>. In contrast to <a href="/wiki/Materialism" title="Materialism">materialism</a>, idealism asserts the primacy of consciousness as the origin and prerequisite of all phenomena. Idealism came under heavy attack in <a href="/wiki/Western_world" title="Western world">the West</a> at the turn of the 20th century. The most influential critics were <a href="/wiki/G._E._Moore" title="G. E. Moore">G. E. Moore</a> and <a href="/wiki/Bertrand_Russell" title="Bertrand Russell">Bertrand Russell</a>, but its critics also included the <a href="/wiki/New_realism_(philosophy)" title="New realism (philosophy)">new realists</a> and <a href="/wiki/Marxism" title="Marxism">Marxists</a>. The attacks by Moore and Russell were so influential that even more than 100 years later "any acknowledgment of idealistic tendencies is viewed in the English-speaking world with reservation." However, many aspects and paradigms of idealism did still have a large influence on subsequent philosophy. <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Definitions">Definitions</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Idealism&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section: Definitions">edit</a>]</div> Idealism is a term with several related meanings.

The modern paradigm of a Western metaphysical idealism is <a href="/wiki/George_Berkeley" title="George Berkeley">Berkeley</a>'s immaterialism.<a href="#cite_note-:2-9">[9]</a> Other such idealists are <a href="/wiki/Georg_Wilhelm_Friedrich_Hegel" title="Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel">Hegel</a>, and <a href="/wiki/F._H._Bradley" title="F.

Whether a mind-independent reality is accepted or not, all that we have knowledge of are mental phenomena.<a href="#cite_note-:2-9">[9]</a> The main source of Western epistemic idealist arguments is the transcendental idealism of <a href="/wiki/Immanuel_Kant" title="Immanuel Kant">Kant</a>.<a href="#cite_note-:2-9">[9]</a> Other thinkers who have defended epistemic idealist arguments include <a href="/wiki/Ludwig_Boltzmann" title="Ludwig Boltzmann">Ludwig Boltzmann</a> and <a href="/wiki/Brand_Blanshard" title="Brand Blanshard">Brand Blanshard</a>.</li></ul> Thus, metaphysical idealism holds that reality itself is non-physical, immaterial, or experiential at its core, while <a href="/wiki/Epistemological_idealism" title="Epistemological idealism">epistemological idealist</a> arguments merely affirm that reality can only be known through ideas and mental structures (without necessarily making metaphysical claims about <a href="/wiki/Thing-in-itself" title="Thing-in-itself">things in themselves</a>).<a href="#cite_note-Brittanica3-10">[10]</a> Because of this, A.C. Ewing argued that instead of thinking about these two categories as forms of idealism proper, we should instead speak of epistemic and metaphysical arguments for idealism.<a href="#cite_note-:0-11">[11]</a> These two ways of arguing for idealism are sometimes combined together to defend a specific type of idealism (as done by Berkeley), but they may also be defended as independent theses by different thinkers. For example, while F. H. Bradley and McTaggart focused on metaphysical arguments, <a href="/wiki/Josiah_Royce" title="Josiah Royce">Josiah Royce</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Brand_Blanshard" title="Brand Blanshard">Brand Blanshard</a> developed epistemological arguments.<a href="#cite_note-12">[12]</a> Furthermore, one might use epistemic arguments, but remain neutral about the metaphysical nature of things in themselves. This metaphysically neutral position, which is not a form of metaphysical idealism proper, may be associated with figures like <a href="/wiki/Rudolf_Carnap" title="Rudolf Carnap">Rudolf Carnap</a>, <a href="/wiki/Willard_Van_Orman_Quine" title="Willard Van Orman Quine">Quine</a>, <a href="/wiki/Donald_Davidson_(philosopher)" title="Donald Davidson (philosopher)">Donald Davidson</a>, and perhaps even Kant himself (though he is difficult to categorize).<a href="#cite_note-13">[13]</a> The most famous kind of epistemic idealism is associated with <a href="/wiki/Kantianism" title="Kantianism">Kantianism</a> and <a href="/wiki/Transcendental_idealism" title="Transcendental idealism">transcendental idealism</a>, as well as with the related <a href="/wiki/Neo-Kantianism" title="Neo-Kantianism">Neo-Kantian</a> philosophies.

Beyond this, idealists disagree on which aspects of the mental are more metaphysically basic. <a href="/wiki/Platonic_idealism" class="mw-redirect" title="Platonic idealism">Platonic idealism</a> affirms that ideal <a href="/wiki/Theory_of_forms" title="Theory of forms">forms</a> are more basic to reality than the things we perceive, while <a href="/wiki/Subjective_idealism" title="Subjective idealism">subjective idealists</a> and <a href="/wiki/Phenomenalism" title="Phenomenalism">phenomenalists</a> privilege sensory experiences. <a href="/wiki/Personalism" title="Personalism">Personalism</a>, meanwhile, sees <a href="/wiki/Person" title="Person">persons</a> or <a href="/wiki/Self" title="Self">selves</a> as fundamental. A common distinction is between subjective and objective forms of idealism. <a href="/wiki/Subjective_idealism" title="Subjective idealism">Subjective idealists</a> like <a href="/wiki/George_Berkeley" title="George Berkeley">George Berkeley</a> reject the existence of a mind-independent or "external" world (though not the appearance of such phenomena in the mind). However, not all idealists restrict the real to subjective experience. <a href="/wiki/Objective_idealism" title="Objective idealism">Objective idealists</a> make claims about a trans-empirical world, but simply deny that this world is essentially divorced from or ontologically prior to mind or consciousness as such. Thus, objective idealism asserts that the reality of experiencing includes and transcends the realities of the object experienced and of the mind of the observer.<a href="#cite_note-14">[14]</a> Idealism is sometimes categorized as a type of metaphysical <a href="/wiki/Anti-realism" title="Anti-realism">anti-realism</a> or <a href="/wiki/Skepticism" title="Skepticism">skepticism</a>.

Macro-idealism is the thesis that concrete reality is wholly grounded in macro-level mentality: that is, in mentality associated with macroscopic (middle-sized) entities such as <a href="/wiki/Human" title="Human">humans</a> and perhaps non-human animals. Cosmic idealism is the thesis that concrete reality is wholly grounded in cosmic mentality: that is, in mentality associated with the <a href="/wiki/Cosmos" title="Cosmos">cosmos</a> as a whole or with a single cosmic entity (such as the universe or a deity).<a href="#cite_note-:1-16">[16]</a> </blockquote>Guyer et al. also distinguish between forms of idealism which are grounded in <a href="/wiki/Substance_theory" title="Substance theory">substance theory</a> (often found in the Anglophone idealisms of the late nineteenth and twentieth centuries) and forms of idealism which focus on activities or dynamic <a href="/wiki/Process" title="Process">processes</a> (favored in post-Kantian German philosophy).<a href="#cite_note-17">[17]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Classical_Greek_idealism">Classical Greek idealism</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Idealism&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Classical Greek idealism">edit</a>]</div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Pre-Socratic_philosophy">Pre-Socratic philosophy</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Idealism&action=edit&section=4" title="Edit section: Pre-Socratic philosophy">edit</a>]</div> There some precursors of idealism in <a href="/wiki/Ancient_Greek_philosophy" title="Ancient Greek philosophy">Ancient Greek Philosophy</a>, though scholars disagree on whether any of these thinkers could be properly labeled "idealist" in the modern sense.<a href="#cite_note-:4-18">[18]</a> One example is <a href="/wiki/Anaxagoras" title="Anaxagoras">Anaxagoras</a> (480 BC) who taught that all things in the universe (<a href="/wiki/Apeiron" title="Apeiron">apeiron</a>) were set in motion by <a href="/wiki/Nous" title="Nous">nous</a> ("mind").

In his philosophy, brahman is the single <a href="/wiki/Nondualism" title="Nondualism">non-dual</a> foundation (adhiṣṭhana) for all existence. This reality is independent, self-established, irreducible, immutable, and free of space, time, and causation.<a href="#cite_note-:30-45">[45]</a> In comparison to this reality, the world of plurality and appearances is illusory (<a href="/wiki/Maya_(religion)" title="Maya (religion)">maya</a>), an unreal cognitive error (mithya). This includes all individual souls or selves, which are actually unreal and numerically identical to the one brahman.<a href="#cite_note-:30-45">[45]</a> Śaṅkara did not believe it was possible to prove the view that reality is "one only, without a second" (<a href="/wiki/Chandogya_Upanishad" title="Chandogya Upanishad">Chandogya</a> 6.2.1) through independent philosophical reasoning. Instead, he accepts non-duality based on the authority of the Upaniṣads. As such, most of his extant works are scriptural commentaries.<a href="#cite_note-:30-45">[45]</a> Nevertheless, he did provide various new arguments to defend his theories. A major metaphysical distinction for Śaṅkara is between what changes and may thus be negated (the unreal) and what does not (which is what is truly real).<a href="#cite_note-:30-45">[45]</a> He compares the real to clay (the substantial cause, analogous to brahman) and the unreal to a pot which depends on the clay for its being (analogous to all impermanent things in the universe).<a href="#cite_note-:30-45">[45]</a> By relying on dependence relations and on the reality of persistence, Śaṅkara concludes that metaphysical foundations are more real than their impermanent effects, and that effects are fully reducible and indeed identical to their metaphysical foundation.<a href="#cite_note-:30-45">[45]</a> Through this argument from dependence, Śaṅkara concludes that since all things in the universe undergoes change, they must depend on some really existent cause for their being, and this is the one primordial undifferentiated existence (Chandogya Bhāṣya, 6.2.1–2).<a href="#cite_note-:30-45">[45]</a> This one reality is the single cause that is in every object, and every thing is not different from this brahman since all things borrow their existence from it. Śaṅkara also provides a <a href="/wiki/Cosmogony" title="Cosmogony">cosmogony</a> in which the world arises from an unmanifest state which is like deep dreamless sleep into a state in which <a href="/wiki/Ishvara" title="Ishvara">īśvara</a> (God) dreams the world into existence.

Berkeley held that objects exist only to the extent that a mind perceives them and thus the physical world does not exist outside of mind. Berkeley's epistemic argument for this view (found in his <a href="/wiki/A_Treatise_Concerning_the_Principles_of_Human_Knowledge" title="A Treatise Concerning the Principles of Human Knowledge">A Treatise Concerning the Principles of Human Knowledge</a>) rests on the <a href="/wiki/Premise" title="Premise">premise</a> that we can only know ideas in the mind. Thus, knowledge does not extend to mind-independent things (Treatise, 1710: Part I, §2).<a href="#cite_note-:8-96">[96]</a> From this, Berkeley holds that "the existence of an idea consists in being perceived", thus, regarding ideas "their esse is percipi", that is, to be is to be perceived (1710: Part I, §3).<a href="#cite_note-:8-96">[96]</a> Based on this restriction of existence to only what is being perceived, Berkeley holds that it is meaningless to think that there could exist objects that are not being perceived.<a href="#cite_note-:8-96">[96]</a> This is the basic idea behind what has been called Berkeley's "master argument" for idealism, which states that "one cannot conceive of anything existing unconceived because in trying to do so one is still conceiving of the object" (1710: Part I, §23).<a href="#cite_note-:8-96">[96]</a> As to the question of how objects which are currently not being perceived by individual minds persist in the world, Berkeley answers that a single eternal mind keeps all of physical reality stable (and causes ideas in the first place), and this is <a href="/wiki/God" title="God">God</a>.<a href="#cite_note-97">[97]</a> Berkeley also argued for idealism based on a second key premise: "an idea can be like nothing but an idea" and as such there cannot be any things without or outside mind. This is because for something to be like something else, there must be something they have in common. If something is mind independent, then it must be completely different from ideas. Thus, there can be no relation between ideas in the mind and things "without the mind", since they are not alike.<a href="#cite_note-:9-98">[98]</a> As Berkeley writes, "...I ask whether those supposed originals or external things, of which our ideas are the pictures or representations, be themselves perceivable or no? if they are, then they are ideas, and we have gained our point; but if you say they are not, I appeal to any one whether it be sense, to assert a colour is like something which is invisible; hard or soft, like something which is intangible; and so of the rest." (1710: Part I, §8).<a href="#cite_note-:9-98">[98]</a> A similar idealistic philosophy was developed at around the same time as Berkeley by Anglican priest and philosopher <a href="/wiki/Arthur_Collier" title="Arthur Collier">Arthur Collier</a> (Clavis Universalis: Or, A New Inquiry after Truth, Being a Demonstration of the Non-Existence, or Impossibility, of an External World, 1713).

As such, our experiences reflect our cognitive structures, not the intrinsic nature of mind-independent things. This means even time and space are not properties of <a href="/wiki/Thing-in-itself" title="Thing-in-itself">things in themselves</a> (i.e. mind independent reality underlying appearances).<a href="#cite_note-:10-106">[106]</a> Since it focuses on the mind dependent nature of knowledge and not on metaphysics per se, transcendental idealism is a type of <a href="/wiki/Epistemological_idealism" title="Epistemological idealism">epistemological idealism</a>. Unlike metaphysical forms of idealism, Kant's transcendental idealism does not deny the existence of mind independent things or affirm that they must be mental.<a href="#cite_note-:10-106">[106]</a> He thus accepts that we can conceive of external objects as distinct from our representations of them. However, he argues that we cannot know what external objects are "in themselves".<a href="#cite_note-:10-106">[106]</a> As such, Kant's system can be called idealist in some respects (e.g. regarding space and time) and also realist in that he accepts there must be some mind independent reality (even if we cannot know its ultimate nature and thus must remain agnostic about this).<a href="#cite_note-:11-108">[108]</a> Kant's system also affirms the reality of a free truly existent <a href="/wiki/Self" title="Self">self</a> and of a God, which he sees as being possible because the non-temporal nature of the thing-in-itself allows for a radical freedom and genuine spontaneity.<a href="#cite_note-:11-108">[108]</a> Kant's main argument for his idealism, found throughout the <a href="/wiki/Critique_of_Pure_Reason" title="Critique of Pure Reason">Critique of Pure Reason</a>, is based on the key premise that we always represent objects in space and time through our <a href="/wiki/A_priori_and_a_posteriori" title="A priori and a posteriori">a priori</a> intuitions (knowledge which is independent from any experience).<a href="#cite_note-:12-109">[109]</a> Thus, according to Kant, space and time can never represent any "property at all of any things in themselves nor any relations of them to each other, i.e., no determination of them that attaches to objects themselves and that would remain even if one were to abstract from all subjective conditions of intuition" (CPuR A 26/B 42).<a href="#cite_note-:12-109">[109]</a> Kant's main point is that since our mental representations have spatio-temporal structure, we have no real grounds for positing that the real objects our mind represents in this way also have spatio-temporal structure in themselves. Kant makes this argument in different parts of the Critique, such as when he asks rhetorically:<blockquote>If there did not lie in you a faculty for intuiting a priori; if this subjective condition were not at the same time the universal a priori condition under which alone the object of ... intuition is possible; if the object ([e.g.,] the triangle) were something in itself without relation to your subject: then how could you say that what necessarily lies in your subjective conditions for constructing a triangle must also necessarily pertain to the triangle in itself. (A 48/B 65) <a href="#cite_note-110">[110]</a></blockquote>Throughout his career, Kant labored to distinguish his philosophy from metaphysical idealism, as some of his critics charged him with being a Berkeleyian idealist.<a href="#cite_note-:11-108">[108]</a> He argued that even if we cannot know how things are in themselves, we do know they must exist, and that we know this "through the representations which their influence on our sensibility provides for us."<a href="#cite_note-111">[111]</a> In the second edition of his Critique, he even inserted a "refutation of idealism".

However, his system differs from his predecessors' in that it is not grounded on some initial subject, mind, or "I" and tries to move beyond all bifurcation subject and object, of the dualism between thinking and being (which for Hegel just leads to various contradictions).<a href="#cite_note-128">[128]</a><a href="#cite_note-129">[129]</a> As such, Hegel's system is an ontological monism fundamentally based on a unity between being and thought, subject and object, which he saw as being neither materialistic realism nor subjective idealism (which still stands in an opposition to materialism and thus remains stuck in the subject-object distinction).<a href="#cite_note-130">[130]</a> In his <a href="/wiki/The_Phenomenology_of_Spirit" title="The Phenomenology of Spirit">Phenomenology of Spirit</a> (1807), Hegel provides an epistemological argument for idealism, focusing on proving the "metaphysical priority of identities over and against their opposed elements".<a href="#cite_note-131">[131]</a> Hegel's argument begins with his conception of knowledge, which he holds is a relation between a claim about a subject and an object that allows for a correspondence between their structural features (and is thus a type of <a href="/wiki/Correspondence_theory" class="mw-redirect" title="Correspondence theory">correspondence theory</a>). Hegel argues that if knowledge is possible, real objects must also have a similar structure as thought (without, however, being reduced to thoughts). If not, there could be no correspondence between what the object is and what a subject believes to be true about the object.<a href="#cite_note-132">[132]</a> For Hegel, any system in which the subject that knows and the object which is known are structurally independent would make the relations necessary for knowledge impossible.<a href="#cite_note-Guyer_at_al._2023,_p._99-133">[133]</a> Hegel also argues that finite qualities and objects depend on other finite things to determine them. An infinite thinking being, on the other hand, would be more self-determining and hence most fully real.<a href="#cite_note-134">[134]</a> Hegel argued that a careful analysis of the act of knowledge would eventually lead to an understanding of the unity of subjects and the objects in a single all-encompassing whole.<a href="#cite_note-135">[135]</a> In this system, experiences are not independent of the thing in itself (as in Kant) but are manifestations grounded in a metaphysical absolute, which is also experiential (but since it resists the experiential subject, can be known through this resistance).<a href="#cite_note-136">[136]</a> Thus, our own experiences can lead us to an insight into the thing in itself.<a href="#cite_note-137">[137]</a> Furthermore, since reality is a unity, all knowledge is ultimately self-knowledge, or as Hegel puts it, it is the subject being "in the other with itself" (im Anderen bei sich selbst sein).<a href="#cite_note-Guyer_at_al._2023,_p._99-133">[133]</a> Since all things have spirit (<a href="/wiki/Geist" title="Geist">Geist</a>), a philosopher can attain what he termed "absolute knowing" (absolutes Wissen), which is the knowledge that all things are ultimately manifestations of an infinite absolute spirit.<a href="#cite_note-138">[138]</a><a href="#cite_note-139">[139]</a> Later, in his <a href="/wiki/Georg_Wilhelm_Friedrich_Hegel#Science_of_Logic" title="Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel">Science of Logic</a> (1812–1814), Hegel further develops a metaphysics in which the real and objective activity of thinking unfolds itself in numerous ways (as objects and subjects).

(WWR §6, pp. 40–1).<a href="#cite_note-:16-144">[144]</a> Schopenhauer argues that, even though we do experience our own bodies through the categories of space, time and causality, we also experience it in another more direct and internal way through the experience of willing. This immediate experience reveals that it is will alone which "gives him the key to his own appearance, reveals to him the meaning and shows him the inner workings of his essence, his deeds, his movements" (WWR §18, p. 124).<a href="#cite_note-:16-144">[144]</a> Thus, for Schopenhauer, it is <a href="/wiki/Desire" title="Desire">desire</a>, a "dark, dull driving", which is at the root of action, not reason.<a href="#cite_note-145">[145]</a> Furthermore, since this is the only form of insight we have of the inner essence of any reality, we must apply this insight "to [the] appearances in the inorganic [and organic] world as well." Schopenhauer compares willing with many natural forces. As such, Will is "a name signifying the being in itself of every thing in the world and the sole kernel of every appearance" (WWR §23, pp. 142–3).<a href="#cite_note-146">[146]</a> Because irrational Willing is the most foundational reality, life is filled with frustration, irrationality and disappointment.

Green">Thomas Hill Green</a>, known for his posthumous Prolegomena to Ethics. Green argues for an idealist metaphysics in this text as a foundation for free will and ethics. In a Kantian fashion, Green first argues that knowledge consists in seeing relations in consciousness, and that any sense of something being "real" or "objective" has no meaning outside of consciousness.<a href="#cite_note-156">[156]</a> He then argues that experience as consciousness of related events "cannot be explained by any natural history, properly so called" and thus "the understanding which presents an order of nature to us is in principle one with an understanding which constitutes that order itself."<a href="#cite_note-157">[157]</a> Green then further argues that individual human beings are aware of an order of relations which extends beyond the bounds of their individual mind. For Green, this greater order must be in a larger transpersonal intelligence, while the world is "a system of related facts" which is made possible and revealed to individual beings by the larger intelligence.<a href="#cite_note-:17-158">[158]</a> Furthermore, Green also holds that participation in the transpersonal mind is constituted by the apprehension of a portion of the overall order by animal organisms.<a href="#cite_note-:17-158">[158]</a> As such, Green accepts the reality of biological bodies when he writes that "in the process of our learning to know the world, an animal organism, which has its history in time, gradually becomes the vehicle of an eternally complete consciousness."<a href="#cite_note-:17-158">[158]</a> Another paradigmatic British absolute idealist is <a href="/wiki/F._H._Bradley" title="F. H. Bradley">Francis Herbert Bradley</a>, who affirms that "the Absolute is not many; there are no independent reals".<a href="#cite_note-Francis_Herbert_Bradley-159">[159]</a> This absolute reality "is one system, and ... its contents are nothing but sentient experience. It will hence be a single and all-inclusive experience, which embraces every partial diversity in concord."<a href="#cite_note-Francis_Herbert_Bradley-159">[159]</a> Bradley presents an anti-realist idealism which rejects the ultimate reality of relations, which for him are mere appearance, "a makeshift, a mere practical compromise, most necessary, but in the end most indefensible."<a href="#cite_note-160">[160]</a> Bradley presented his idealism in his <a href="/wiki/Appearance_and_Reality" title="Appearance and Reality">Appearance and Reality</a> (1893) by arguing that the ideas we use to understand reality are contradictory. He deconstructs numerous ideas including primary and secondary qualities, substances and attributes, quality and relation, space, time and causality and the self.<a href="#cite_note-:18-161">[161]</a> Most famously, Bradley argued that any ultimate distinction between qualities and relations is untenable since "qualities are nothing without relations" since "their plurality depends on relation, and, without that relation, they are not distinct. But, if not distinct, then not different, and therefore not qualities."<a href="#cite_note-:18-161">[161]</a> Furthermore, for Bradley, the same thing turns out to be true of relations, and of both taken together, since for a relation to relate to a quality, it would then require a further relation. As such, qualities and relations are appearance, not ultimate truth, since "ultimate reality is such that it does not contradict itself".<a href="#cite_note-162">[162]</a> Even though all appearances are "not truth", it is still possible to have true knowledge of ultimate reality, which must be a unity beyond contradictions but which still allows for diversity. Bradley thinks that this character of reality as a diverse unity is revealed to us in sentient experience, since our various experiences must be grounded and caused by some undifferentiated and pre-abstract reality. However he also admits "our complete inability to understand this concrete unity in detail".<a href="#cite_note-163">[163]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="American_idealism">American idealism</h4>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Idealism&action=edit&section=25" title="Edit section: American idealism">edit</a>]</div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Charles_Sanders_Peirce.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/58/Charles_Sanders_Peirce.jpg/220px-Charles_Sanders_Peirce.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="295" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/58/Charles_Sanders_Peirce.jpg/330px-Charles_Sanders_Peirce.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/5/58/Charles_Sanders_Peirce.jpg 2x" data-file-width="434" data-file-height="582" /></a><figcaption>Charles Sanders Peirce</figcaption></figure> Idealism also became popular in the <a href="/wiki/United_States" title="United States">United States</a> with thinkers like <a href="/wiki/Charles_Sanders_Peirce" title="Charles Sanders Peirce">Charles Sanders Peirce</a> (1839–1914), who defended an "objective idealism" in which, as he put it, "matter is effete mind, inveterate habits becoming physical laws".<a href="#cite_note-164">[164]</a> Pierce initially defended a type of <a href="/wiki/Direct_and_indirect_realism" title="Direct and indirect realism">representationalism</a> alongside his form of <a href="/wiki/Pragmatism" title="Pragmatism">Pragmatism</a> which was metaphysically neutral since it is "no doctrine of metaphysics".<a href="#cite_note-165">[165]</a> However, in later years (after c.1905), Pierce defended an objective idealism which held that the universe evolved from a state of maximum spontaneous freedom (which he associated with mind) into its present state where matter were merely "congealed" mind.<a href="#cite_note-166">[166]</a> In arguing for this view, he followed the classic idealist premise that states there must be a metaphysical equality (an <a href="/wiki/Isomorphism_of_categories" title="Isomorphism of categories">isomorphism</a>) between thought and being, and as such, "the root of all being is One".<a href="#cite_note-167">[167]</a> A key feature of Pierce's idealism is "<a href="/wiki/Tychism" title="Tychism">Tychism</a>", which he defined as "the doctrine that absolute chance is a factor of the universe."<a href="#cite_note-168">[168]</a> This allows for an element of chance or <a href="/wiki/Indeterminism" title="Indeterminism">indeterminism</a> in the universe which allows for cosmological evolution.<a href="#cite_note-169">[169]</a> Under the influence of Pierce, it was <a href="/wiki/Josiah_Royce" title="Josiah Royce">Josiah Royce</a> (1855–1916) who became the leading American idealist at the turn of the century.<a href="#cite_note-Guyer_at_al._2023,_p._138-170">[170]</a> Royce's idealism incorporated aspects of Pierce's Pragmatism and is defended in his The Spirit of Modern Philosophy (1892).<a href="#cite_note-171">[171]</a> One of Royce's arguments for idealism is his argument from meaning, which states the possibility of there being <a href="/wiki/Meaning_(philosophy)" title="Meaning (philosophy)">meaning</a> at all requires an identity between what is meant (ordinary objects) and what makes meaning (ordinary subjects).<a href="#cite_note-172">[172]</a> In his The World and the Individual (2 vols, 1899 and 1901), Royce also links meaning with purpose, seeing the meaning of a term as its intended purpose.<a href="#cite_note-173">[173]</a> Royce was an absolute idealist who held that ultimately reality was a super-self, an absolute mind.<a href="#cite_note-:24-174">[174]</a> Royce argues that for a mind to be able represent itself and its representations (and not lead to a vicious infinite regress), it must be complex and capacious enough, and only an absolute mind has this capacity.<a href="#cite_note-:24-174">[174]</a> The American philosopher <a href="/wiki/Brand_Blanshard" title="Brand Blanshard">Brand Blanshard</a> (1892–1987) was also a proponent of idealism who accepted a "necessary isomorphism between knowledge and its object".<a href="#cite_note-175">[175]</a> His idealism is most obvious in The Nature of Thought (1939), where he discusses how all <a href="/wiki/Perception" title="Perception">perception</a> is infused with concepts.<a href="#cite_note-:28-176">[176]</a> He then argues from a coherence theory of truth that the "character of reality" must also include coherence itself, and thus, knowledge must be similar to what it knows.<a href="#cite_note-:28-176">[176]</a> Not only that, but knowledge must be part of a single system with the world it knows, and causal relations must be also involve logical relations.

Aristotle's De Anima, book three, chapter five, is evidently one such text. At least since the time of <a href="/wiki/Alexander_of_Aphrodisias" title="Alexander of Aphrodisias">Alexander of Aphrodisias</a>, scholars have felt compelled to draw some remarkable conclusions regarding Aristotle's brief remarks in this passage regarding intellect. One such claim is that in chapter five, Aristotle introduces a second intellect, the so-called 'agent intellect', an intellect distinct from the 'passive intellect', the supposed focus of discussion up until this passage. This view is a direct descendant of the view of Alexander himself, who identified the agent intellect with the divine intellect. Even the staunchest defender of such a view is typically at a loss to give a plausible explanation of why the divine intellect pops into and then out of the picture in the intense and closely argued discussion of the human intellect that goes from chapter four through to the end of chapter seven.</q></cite><span title="ctx_ver=Z39.88-2004&rft_val_fmt=info%3Aofi%2Ffmt%3Akev%3Amtx%3Ajournal&rft.genre=article&rft.jtitle=Phronesis&rft.atitle=The+Unity+of+Intellect+in+Aristotle%27s+%27De+Anima%27&rft.volume=49&rft.issue=4&rft.pages=%3Cspan+class%3D%22nowrap%22%3E348-%3C%2Fspan%3E373&rft.date=2004&rft_id=info%3Adoi%2F10.1163%2F1568528043067005&rft_id=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.jstor.org%2Fstable%2F4182761%23id-name%3DJSTOR&rft.aulast=Gerson&rft.aufirst=Lloyd+P.&rft_id=http%3A%2F%2Findividual.utoronto.ca%2Flpgerson%2FThe_Unity_Of_Intellect_In_Aristotles_De_Anima.pdf&rfr_id=info%3Asid%2Fen.wikipedia.org%3AIdealism" class="Z3988"> </li> <li id="cite_note-188"><a href="#cite_ref-188">^</a> Davidson, Journal, 1884–1898 (Thomas Davidson Collection, Manuscript Group #169, Sterling Memorial Library, Yale University).
