Metaphysical Idealism

Metaphysical Idealism is a philosophical view that suggests reality is fundamentally mental or spiritual rather than physical. In the context of time and process philosophy, it posits that our experiences and thoughts shape what we perceive as reality. Instead of viewing the world as a collection of unchanging objects, idealism emphasizes that our perceptions, ideas, and consciousness actively contribute to the ongoing processes of existence. Thus, the essence of reality may be understood more as dynamic relationships and ideas evolving over time, rather than a fixed physical structure.
