speculative idealism

Speculative idealism is a philosophical view that suggests reality's fundamental nature is rooted in the mind or consciousness. It proposes that our perceptions and experiences shape what we understand as reality, and that ultimate truth depends on the mind's role in constructing it. Essentially, it emphasizes that the material world may not exist independently of our awareness of it, positing that the mind and ideas are primary, and objects only exist insofar as they are perceived or understood by consciousness.
