Idealism is a family of metaphysical views each of which gives
priority to the mental. The best-known forms of idealism in Western
philosophy are Berkeleyan idealism, which gives ontological
priority to the mental (minds and ideas) over the physical
(bodies), and Kantian idealism, which gives a kind of explanatory
priority to the mental (the structure of the understanding) over
the physical (the structure of the empirical world). Although
idealism was once a dominant view in Western philosophy, it has
suffered almost total neglect over the last several decades. This
book rectifies this situation by bringing together seventeen essays
by leading philosophers on the topic of metaphysical idealism. The
various essays explain, attack, or defend a variety of idealistic
theories, including not only Berkeleian and Kantian idealisms but
also those developed in traditions less familiar to analytic
philosophers, including Buddhism and Hassidic Judaism. Although a
number of the articles draw on historical sources, all will be of
interest to philosophers working in contemporary metaphysics. This
volume aims to spark a revival of serious philosophical interest in
metaphysical idealism.
