Objective Idealism

Objective Idealism is a philosophical viewpoint that suggests reality is fundamentally shaped by ideas and consciousness, but also acknowledges an external reality that exists independent of individual perceptions. According to this perspective, while our understanding of reality is influenced by our thoughts and experiences, there is a universal, shared reality that exists beyond subjective interpretations. It posits that ideas can reflect or align with this objective reality, suggesting a balance between the mental and the external world. This philosophy seeks to explain the relationship between our thoughts and the nature of existence itself.
