What it is Filled

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.

Why it exists Filled
