Well Done, I'm a retired physicist & finally idealism make some sort of sense. Thks

Quantum Physics is clearly pointing to some sort of Idealism as the core of the nature of our existence

I need to watch that again, maybe several more times…

I'm so glad to see that you are fine, Profesor!

I have watched Dr. Bonevac‘s philosophy videos over 100 times; his analytic philosophy course -some of the individual lectures I’ve up to 10 times. He is the basis for my education of philosophy hall subjects; I knew very little philosophy before him. He hits the ball out of the park virtually every time or at least gets a RBI. Thank you Dr. Bonevac. If I ever met him, I would have to try my hardest not to be rude or abusive asking question after question continuously for months and wouldn’t let him go to sleep.

There has been a recent revival of idealism, for instance, K. Ward, B. Kastrup, or in some aspects D. Hoffman too (is close). Kastrup's idealism is objective; everything is mind and we dissociate into subjects like in Vedanta (or Schopenhauer).

Awe geez I refute thus with the feeling from my gut! Lolz Thank you

Show me one idealist who has lived even a minute of their life as if the external world wasn't real.

The suggestion that materialism is akin to animism brightened my day.

Extremely good video!

Very nice information, thank you.

The end of this video was brilliant. Most people including myself tend to think that idealism is full of woo-woo and materialism is reductive. Granted, some guru types use idealism as a vehicle to smuggle in whatever woo-woo they're pedalling. However when it comes to proper philosophy, idealism is more reductive than materialism, which has to assume some physical woo-woo out there that causes our perceptions.

10:28 color saturation change. Good timing :-)

reality is a perspective that has been curated for humans by God. we perceive what we perceive because it conforms to the Logos.

That wasn’t a picture of Josiah Royce. That was a picture of William James. Josiah Royce was merely in it ;-P

15:29 But it just may be a triangle you're looking for.

It is logically incoherent to be an idealist and anything other than a pure rationalist else there is no stimulus or input from which to have new experiences, ideas, creativity, inventions, etc... if the mind can only interact with itself one must be born with all the knowledge of a lifetime.

So based in yr lectures : Ancient philosophy : triangle is an Idea (forms) Modern philosophy : triangle is matter or tangible object. Postmodernism : triangle is text or language game.... Is this correct?

if you are a human you've never seen a triangle. you have seen matter arranged in the shape of a triangle many times. do not presume that there are not other ways of interpreting that particular arrangement of matter. and , by the way, i am NOT a postmodernist.

Idealism seems like a good idea but it's useless while realism seems baseless but it's most useful. Figure that out.

Berkeley was in no sense the 'inventor' of idealism in the west, and idealism is in no sense 'new' in the Western philosophical tradition

How did the mind get access to the property in the original form/concept ? 🫤 On what basis would the mind have been able to construct the form?
