idealism
Let an agent explain idealism and its varieties, relay the main thinkers and arguments from philosophy sources with attribution, describe the traditions the aliases name, and distinguish philosophical idealism from materialism and realism, from idealism as high-minded optimism and from the misfiled Jungian alias.
Research draft, second pass
A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.

Purpose and description
Let an agent explain idealism and its varieties, relay the main thinkers and arguments from philosophy sources with attribution, describe the traditions the aliases name, and distinguish philosophical idealism from materialism and realism, from idealism as high-minded optimism and from the misfiled Jungian alias.
A family of philosophical theories holding that reality is fundamentally mental or that mind is prior to matter, including subjective idealism as in Berkeley, objective and absolute idealism as in Hegel and the British idealists, actual idealism as in Gentile, Russian idealism of the Silver Age and traditions in Indian thought sometimes called Hindu idealism such as Advaita Vedanta; the registry aliases also list the collective unconscious, a Jungian concept that is not a form of idealism and appears misfiled.
What it is for: Not applicable; a philosophical position.
It can be explain varieties; relay thinkers and arguments; describe traditions; distinguish related concepts.
