Idealism is the philosophical doctrine that holds the view that ideas are the only reality. Hence for the idealist, there is
no external reality and that the world is consists of ideas. For this reason, the idealists argue that the material things
do not really exist. In fact, for the idealists, material things are not real because they are mutable and destructible.
This is because whatever is mutable and destructible keeps on changing and whatever that keeps on changing cannot be
considered real. Only ideas, therefore, are real for the idealists because the ideas do not change.

There is a positive moral correlation with the word, ideal.

[ThesWolf_]

Idealism is like a drug, where you create your subjective truths.

[maiquelgonzalez]

The only thing that is constant in this universe is your attributeless formless soul. Otherwise everything is changing, everything is perishable, so beautiful.

I like to boil down assertions to their essential.
The Idealist asserts:
"I can NOT experience, observe, see SOME-thing
I can ONLY experience, observe, see NO-thing, also called properties
In other words, the object is inaccessible to me"
and they go from there

The Nominalist asserts:
I experience, observe, see SOME-thing:
An object, an object acting = changing.
I am having access to the object
per se = as such, on its own, in its own right
by seeing, hearing, touching, smelling, tasting the object
I do NOT experience, observe, see any property !!!OF!!! SOME-thing
My brain is eliciting, making up, fabricating illusions
also called awarenesses = properties
FROM/ABOUT the object being accessed, observed, used.


The assertion of Idealism is exploiting,
that the Nominalist never mentions:
"my brain is allocating the properties TO the being-accessed, observed, used.
IOW any property is, beyond a sghgred of doubt, an illusion.

For an example: the property called time does NOT exist
it is NO-thing, it is the awareness = observedness = illusion
being fabricated repeatedly, namely from/about an object changing.
An object *continually* changing is called- and used=ACCESSED as: A clock.
The clock measures the time.
= the clock proclaims = asserts the time.
the clock does NOT detect (=react to an entity called) time.

So idealist believe their own body doesn’t exist ? If that’s the case are they saying we’re just mind, soul & spirit ?

[mysmallcap]

Hi! Can you please tell me how ideas are immutable or indestructible? Ideas can be modified and changed, or even wished away altogether. So how does Plato say that ideas are immutable or indestructible? Thanks.

For an idealist,
the future is more important than the present and the past.
For an idealism-oriented neutral like myself,
both the future and present are important, but the present is still more important.
For a neutral-oriented realist like Mahathir,
both the past and present are important, but the past is still more important.
For a realist like Trump and Stalin,
the past is more important than the present and the future.

I’m an idealist and this is a bit of an exaggeration. This seems more so in the realm of philosophy.

I thought this video is related to "perfectionism". I was wrong.
