The German Idealism

German Idealism was a philosophical movement in the late 18th and early 19th centuries, mainly in Germany, emphasizing that our understanding of reality is shaped by the mind’s structures and perceptions. Thinkers like Kant, Fichte, and Hegel believed that to comprehend the world, we must consider how human consciousness and self-awareness influence our experience. They argued that reality isn't just external and objective but deeply connected to our mental processes, ideas, and our quest for meaning. Essentially, German Idealism explores how our perceptions and ideas actively construct our understanding of the world around us.
