I think a lot of people who grew up working with computers or playing video games are more inclined to a sort of idealist metaphysics than people of say, the 19th and 20th century were. The concept of "software" and the fact that you can run the same program on different machines indicates that a program has an eternal, immaterial existence of some sort. If you wrote a program out in full on a sheet of paper and then typed it into a computer a hundred years from now, you could run the same program. One also speaks of different copies of the same book as "the same book" because the "software" component is the same even though the "hardware" (the physical paper and binding) differs. This shows that "Idea", information, or mind actually does transcend the material used to manifest its presence, and must be said to exist in some sense. Many people are put off from Idealism from reading Plato, who explains it rather mystically and clumsily. Nevertheless, it is quite usual in our modern computer culture to think of information as an immaterial phenomena which can interact with matter in various ways.
I still think that Materialism is the better explanation then platonism.
Programs and Information are just patterns and regularities that can be reduced to a bundle of material states.
Similar patterns can emerge independent from each other on different materials but they are still matter-dependent.
I would also be cautious about any form of metaphysical Technocentrism. The universe is neither a mechanical clock nor a computer program. Humans have the tendency to project their currently most sophisticated technology upon the universe.
@@Opposite271I agree. Nevertheless, society behaves according to the availability of technology of each geographic region and time. I can't expect to teleport to another planet because we don't have teleport pads or something to make that possible. Which takes us to the previous point, the nature of reality and our existence. Dualism describes reality better than idealism and materialism. How could you describe a world where everything changes, without the presence of immaterial forces that guide us to achieve the next material giant technological leap?
It is true we have limits since we are made out matter, but our minds shape the world in unfathomable ways, we don't have magic, but any form of technology which is advanced enough, is actually undistinguishable from magic.
@@themanwhocouldnotsleep6065
Humans have the tendency to underestimate matter while overestimating their own minds.
I think this is the main cause for dualism and Idealism.
Humans tend to think of matter like of stones, as something death, static and uncreative. But it all depends one the form in which matter is in. It can be a stone but it also can be a complex organism or even a human mind.
Humans also tend to think that the properties they discover is all there is to matter. But matter possesses quantum properties even before quantum mechanics was a thing.
And I think the same is the case for the phenomenal properties of my subjective experiences. Maybe it is fundamental, maybe it is emergent but in the end it is just another property of matter.
In conclusion, humans underestimate the potential of matter and overestimate their own understanding of it.
hi
sup
😍😍
idealism i love you
I was about to comment about you and here you are...(i was so happy at first no one commented about you)
hi I really like your music. I listen to it all the time and it really speaks to me. thank you.
Thanks for answering my question! I'm getting the impression that idealism is one of really controversial and complicated things, where there are many different branches (in the broader sense) of ideas and definitions. I'd previously thought of it as the belief that the mind plays some important role in constructing/perceiving reality that doesn't externally exist...
I agree that it's a more political strategy rather than philosophy.
My favorite part of this video is the BONUS TIME!!!!!!!!
The ideia of this Channel is very good! Good job!
It took me time to find this but thank you this was seven years ago that this video was taken out all I have to say is happening now about idealism
My idea of idealism, is that my philosophy is righteous but also outwardly thinking, listen to other people and decide on there idealism and call people out on there ideas when they're wrong. Deductive idealism, if you will
internerratum:
Transcendental Idealism isn't described in Kant's "Groundwork for the Metaphysics of Morals." Go for his "Prolegomena for any Future Metaphysics", "Critique of Pure Reason", or since this is a very introductory video, IMHO the viewer should gradually increase the length and academic level of videos on Transcendental Idealism. :-D
Best description and explanation of Idealism. The problem with philosophy is that I've encountered several directly contradictory definitions of these terms, not just a loosey goosey spectrum (i.e. hard vs soft core idealism).
One video said that Plato was a Dualist not an Idealist, meaning that his world of Forms and the shadowy world of materialism both 'exist' simultaneously and have a relationship, or we would not be talking about it (however I'm guessing that he meant that the material world was an illusion or projection or individual substantiation of the ideal universal forms and therefore has a claim to being more real even if beyond the limits of our empirical observation and therefore a result of logical deduction.)
Who the hell do I believe? Where to find an authoritative reference that is not ridiculously technical. Your channel I hope. I will be checking out your other videos for sure. The trick is to not dumb it down but also keep it accessible to the person who does not speak 18th century German, Latin, Greek and Hebrew.
Surely no one believes that there is an Ideal triangle or an ideal watermelon or an ideal girl (Taylor Swift)? Thanks.
I don't think my brain is big enough to comprehend what this guy is talking about, but it sure SOUNDS fascinating! lol
Great
Can you explain actual idealism please??
Of the Gentilean kind
The Donestre idealism is saying the mind,god and some unrecognizable thing in outside of material or material isn't real but it's created by the spirituality.example: Einstein said with relativity is the time,space,particles...etc are the same thing,and this theory admit the existence of objective time.idealism said the time,space,concepts,particles are the product of mind,and mind doesn't involve material universe.it's also say that the time or material isn't real as the version of them inside the mind,so the human mind or god mind construct all of things,it can't research about it self and the things outside it,if yes,that's just because it imagined,so it defeat the existence of the objective time which has been known as a consequence flow.
Thanks for the reply but I meant actual Idealism of Giovanni Gentile
Idealism is a song writer that gives his songs to his other hearts and those hearts just relax...
this channel is gold
thanks for a very nice input
You are welcome. Thanks for watching
Idealism is possible. Malice is felt and allowed.
Money is the motivation. Money is needed but asking for money is a matter of self-respect mostly.
For the malicious it is a matter of prestige or status that they may feel of importance.
Prestige is glory. Status is public image.
Righteousness only can generate money. Ethics earn money. Fairness is inevitable in society for living a normal life which consists of lawful justice.
Best
Perfect explanation 👍 but you didn't discussed the 3rd idealism and suddenly jumped upon 4th from 2nd idealism.
“I do not know what the word - materialism - means. Speaking as a physicist, I judge matter to be an imprecise and rather old-fashioned concept. Roughly speaking, matter is the way particles behave when a large number of them are lumped together. When we examine matter in the finest detail in the experiments of particle physics, we see it behaving as an active agent rather than as an inert substance. It’s actions are in the strict sense unpredictable. It makes what appear to be arbitrary choices between alternative possibilities. Between matter as we observe it in the laboratory and mind as we observe it in our own consciousness, there seems to be only a difference of degree but not in kind.”
“This view of our place in the cosmos may not be true, but it is as least logically consistent and compatible with the active nature of matter as revealed in the experiments of modern physics.”
"Mind and intelligence are woven into the fabric of our universe in a way that altogether surpasses our understanding."
Freeman Dyson was a theoretical physicist and mathematician, famous for his work in quantum electrodynamics, solid-state physics, astronomy and nuclear engineering
Kurt Gödel on Idealism
"I had begun to think that consciousness is really nothing more than simple existence. By way of leading up to this, I asked Gödel if he believed there is a single Mind behind all the various appearances and activities of the world."
"He replied that, yes, the Mind is the thing that is structured, but that the Mind exists independently of its individual properties.
I then asked if he believed that the Mind is everywhere, as opposed to being localized in the brains of people."
Gödel replied, “Of course. This is the basic mystic teaching.”
"In materialism all elements behave the same. It is mysterious to think of them as spread out and automatically united. For something to be a whole, it has to have an additional object, say, a soul or a mind. “Matter” refers to one way of perceiving things, and elementary particles are a lower form of mind. Mind is separate from matter."
"What Turing disregards completely is the fact that mind, in its use, is not static, but constantly developing. … Therefore, although at each stage of the mind’s development the number of its possible states is finite, there is no reason why this number should not converge to infinity in the course of its development."
"I don’t think the brain came in the Darwinian manner. In fact, it is disprovable. Simple mechanism can’t yield the brain. I think the basic elements of the universe are simple. Life force is a primitive element of the universe and it obeys certain laws of action. These laws are not simple, and they are not mechanical."
"Even Bertrand Russell one of the greatest analytic philosophers of the 20thC and the inspiration of the Logical Positivists, develops a phenomenalism and accepts that science has to employ logical fictions and models; and that there was no fundamental difference between mind and matter."
This guy is high as balls. Tremendous
thank you! very useful video
It's helpful!
I have to das after 4:30 I am still as clueless as before
Thank you sir
I follow idealism.
I’d say Alan Watts also would fit in this.
I wouldn't. Watts believed in a kind of reincarnation known as Generic Subjective Continuity (naturalistic). So he believed in many minds, whereas idealism is equal to solipsism.
@@naturalisted1714 Idealism is not the same as solipsism.
If idealism is true, then it is also true that you can only perceive your own consciousness not the consciousness of others. Does it mean that my consciousness doesn't exist because you cannot perceive it?
Not if there is only one conciousness which you and others are accessing.
@@lievenyperman9363 how do you perceive that other people are accessing the same consciousness that you're accessing? My blue could very well be entirely different from your blue.
@@Ivan-td7kb You do not. You perceive perception yet you are conciousness. At least, according to some idealists and non-dualists.
@@lievenyperman9363 since you cannot perceive it, therefore it cannot be objective reality, at least according to idealism philosophy
@@Ivan-td7kb I don't think that is correct. Objective reality can not be perceived by humans, only human perception can. Like with Plato's cave, people are watching shadows on the cave wall not knowing they are cast by the real sun outside the cave.
Interesting when he mentions the word mind for the first time he unconsciously points to his head. The Mind is not in the head it is not in the brain either, people have it inverted, the head, brain and everything else is in the Mind. What Kastrup calls Mind at Large.
The head is an image in Consciousness this is all being dreamed and it is up to us to become lucid.
Its amazing to me how much the mind being in the brain is perpetuated still by intelligent people despite there being no evidence that this is in fact true. It was great seeing your comment pointing this out.
@@JustinSoga
Contra Idealism:
It would be a linguistic mistake to say that the brain is a representation instead of the thing that is being represented.
Don’t confuse a experience or model of the brain with the brain itself. The model only captures the causal structure of the brain. One’s sense experience of the brain is how the mind is representing itself.
Contra Epiphenomenalism:
If your experience is a epiphenomenon then your brain couldn’t know that you have experiences. So there would be no reason for why you are talking about them.
Contra Cartesian Dualism:
This is just a ghost of the gap’s.
As the causal structure of the model becomes more and more accurate, any gap that could allow for the intervention of a ghostlike mind will disappear.
when you say the mind and point to the head,that's actually can't describe right because your mind could be in a faraway place,but this reality is just a holographic from matrix.i understand the relativistic of the edge between materialistic and idealistic,but materialism has many paradoxes from being critic idealism.saying time is just the material is a kind of reductionism,idealism is a kind of unrecognized and agnostic to the universe laws though it call god is underlying law.
lânchánđời Nguyen you have no idea what you're talking about. You're confusing idealism with simulation theory which are mutually exclusive and the former predates the latter by entire eras of civilization
Wait, so it saying our minds create the mental world around us? And that the table I sit at, and the reality around me isn’t technically real?
Shaun Richardson here's another example: the ideal of communism. Where on earth have we had true communism as dreamt of by Marx? Nowhere, all we've had is socialism and death and destruction. But man keeps trying to create it based off his ideal of what it should be.
Same could be said of democracy, liberalism, traditionalism, etc
Anything really. Everything in our world created by man was once a mere idea its basically intellectual goddledegook for "nothing is perfect"
Ever heard anyone say "if there was a god there wouldn't be so much evil and pain on earth?" Well what if god made earth as a simulation so we could experience pain and hardship to learn but our soul doesnt get harmed as when we die our spirit goes home back to eternal bliss. Some people who have had a near death experience say they see a dark tunnel with a bright light at the end, that sounds like birth to me like there life flashed backwards b4 their eyes and thats the last memory. Reincarnation back in2 the simulation because u went out (died) before u finished what u came here 2 do THATS MY THEORY it explains the laws of the universe and the paranormal in some retrospect. Law of attraction and the Mandela effect etc....
I noticed that you twice said "our mind" and pointed to your head, but it sounds to me as though it is not necessarily according to idealism that there is any head - inside of which there is any mind.
I invented CZcams in my preexistence. I also invented Facebook, Twitter, news, people and the whole universe. I created other worlds, other universes, and other things. Sometimes people I created agree with me, because I wanted them to. Other times, people I created don't agree but that's so I could investigate and discover all that I have done ;)
Hegel is my favorite...
What are the defining elements of a regime? What characteristic feature do the
Realist and liberal institutionalist approaches to regime analysis share
chủ nghĩa duy tâm idealism
good job!
Is idealism only existent because we can never know for sure whether or not material is real? I genuinely don’t understand this philosophy and am just asking.
But then, isn’t the term “real” defined by what we perceive determines what is “real”?
Wait so is there another definition of real? Like criteria? Is “real” not the existence of an object or whatever is being examined? Can’t we determine what is real using our senses? I’m so confused.
Sin reveals itself by us believing we can think independently of God and that creatures, not the creator, are the ultimate authority. John 3:3

This is good but we need more good lecture
Where does political idealism fit in with philosophical idealism?
Nancy Bartley it's just an application of it.
I have a test in an hour ..thank u so much
Did u pass?
: And to understand why you fee in lack of pity or why others or whether others lack it for you or you for others and wwhy does the feeling bothers you..
1:36 too loud
I think this video is longer than 60 seconds
I love the spider man shirt
It's all just a dream, in my opinion.
realism
Its a compelling theory, but I dont believe in absolute things.
So you'd say you absolutely do not believe in absolute things?
I actually believe in an absolute. The absolute is that which has no form/image/sound. From where everything springs into existence. Also, language is a useful tool, but most insights in life can't be told, that reveales the limitation of words. Therefore that paradoxical question you asked me can only exist in the realm of the spoken, which is not the area of the brain that can have the most insightful experiences...
What are the conditions that make experience possible? These conditions lie in the human mind.
Is the Cartesian statement "I think, therefore I am" a kind of idealism?
Cogito ergo sum could be interpreted as a form of idealistic statement. Because the proof of our existence is our own mind, we can't think if we don't exist.
what is the difference between liberalism and idealism
😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣
Song,,,????
The mind to me seems observable. Only by myself and can be expressed by myself. I think we are not at a point in time to say that statement and be correct. There are many studies being done on the mind and we don't know it to it's full potential .
how idealistic was german idealism
In Platonic Idealism, is the perfect world physical? Not starting an argument, just curious.
The forms are not physical. As far as a perfect "world", I would take it that Plato would try to get as close to the forms while within the physical realm as possible. After death is another question, if you read the Phaedo you will find Socrates hoping for something more perfect after death.
60Second Philosophy Thanks for the reply! I guess I should probably just read the Phaedo, but I'll ask anyway. The "more perfect" state after death would have to be non-physical if it's formal in the Platonist sense? Idealist conceptions of death have been on my mind disproportionately recently; I'm trying to understand them better. Thanks!
good presentation.
Ideal is unreal or abstract and idealism is real or actual. Ideal is weird and idealism is normal. Ideal is abnormal and idealism is routine.
you are soo fast
I think you very badly misused "metaphysics". Realism is a metaphysical position also.
I don't exist, because a person on an isolated island doesn't know that I exist.
Hegels saying made me feel so alone
omg
it's so scary!!!!
Not enough details. But thanks anyways...
What is the meaning of system?
A set of constants and variables interrelated towards a particular goal.
Emmanuel Kant…. More like Emmanuel Can’t!
You spelled pla-doh wrong. It’s not Plato
So Absolute Idealism = Solipsism..
I’m confuuuused. Plato have Platonic realism but it is also called platonic idealism?¿ What?
Dana Yu platonic forms were abstract ideas that were apart of reality. Idealist believe that reality was dependent on the mind.

The reason you can't fit everything you want to say in 60 seconds is simply because you keep repeating useless information again and again... break it down, keep it simple, yet, informative at every line. Just like a cv😉
>:-( 4:28 mins in 1:00 Min ???
Philosophy is the understanding of all religions and the experience of Eternal Bliss' and the challenge of attaining true love, trust and respect from others through work, sports, and art and the reason why young people turn to gang, crime or whore-dome in order to attain it and become closer to God and acquire a higher learning and understanding for right and wrong that would be the experience friendship and Love and Peace with is Eves and Lilith's religion and experience with Adam that is to understand why someone or other wronged yo, how it would feel if you where or had walked in their shoes, if they had done the same, why, and how to make up for it which are the laws of attraction.
you okay?
Neeeeerrrrrrdddddddddd
im almost certain, because of the Categorical imperative Kant is a realist. Not an Idealist.

Not sure. Sorry. It was one of the presets on Garageband
Plato is not the name of the Greek Plyloshopher.His name is Platon -ΠΛΑΤΩΝ . please pronounce his name correctly ,Put the ending -N- .PLATON- ΠΛΑΤΩΝ.
Meaning either broad shouldes or broad forehead.
Should we accept idealism? Justify your response.
NEO-OTTOMANISM
Idealism is needed. Were those against slavery, and racism idealists?
Being against racism, and homophobia is idealistic. .
Idealism is dangerous. Were those for exterminating an entire race in order to assert their own dominance over the world not idealist? Being for supremacy and an ideology built on oppression is idealistic.
Rory Smith merely being against something is not necessarily idealist.
MisterCharlton idealism isnt good nor bad it just is. It can be allied to anything we humans call good or bad. There are good ideas and bad ideas
So religion is materialistic?
Idealism, the way you makes it seem is narcissistic
Wow, you pronounce "Plato" like "Play Dough"? You realise that's not how we pronounce his name? Yes, you must, because you got "Platonic" right. By the way, "Platos" was his nickname because he was short and stout.
That's how his name is pronounced in English.
Anarcho-capitalism is idealism at its worst.
Ah yes, the biggest clown to exist
Idealism is dangerous. That is how Trump got into power...idealism.
NOTE: It is three years since I initially made this comment; in hindsight, I find it to be cringey as fuck. Honestly, I don’t remember even having TDS. Maybe I was trying to virtue signal. I just don’t know. 🤷♂️
thats not what idealism is bud
I see how you might think that, but I think you might be wrong on this one.
“Idealism does not represent a superfluous expression of emotion, but in truth it has been, is, and will be, the premise for what we designate as human culture...Without his idealistic attitude all, even the most dazzling faculties of the intellect, would remain mere intellect just like
outward appearance without inner value, and never creative force....The purest idealism is unconsciously equivalent to the deepest knowledge...”
-Adolf Hitler
MisterCharlton lmao
MisterCharlton - I don't see how just because Adolf Hitler said that, makes idealism dangerous. All you did was copy and paste a quote from Hitler that used the word "idealism." I don't think you even know what you just read.
