What is Idealism?
'''Idealism''' is the [[philosophy]] that believes the ultimate nature of [[reality]] is ideal, or based upon [[idea]]s, values, or essences. The external, or real world cannot be separated from [[consciousness]], [[perception]], mind, [[intellect]] and reason in the sense of science. The word comes from the Greek word ἰδέα. In some doctrines of idealistic thought ''the ideal'' relates to direct and immediate [[knowledge]] of [[qualia|subjective]] mental ideas, or [[image]]s. {{enWiktionary|idealism}} {{stub}} {{philosophy topics}} {{Metaphysics}} [[Category:Philosophical movements and positions]] [[Category:Reality]]
