At least one may say, with some degree of certitude, that Plato held the realm of ideas to be absolute reality. As for the exact relationship between the ideal and non ideal world, the platonic corpus is silent, insofar as interpretation must rely upon literary device, metaphor, and amphibology. Some commentators hold Plato argued that truth is an abstraction. In other words, we are urged to believe that Plato s theory of ideas is an abstraction , divorced from the so called external world, of modern European philosophy, despite the fact Plato taught that ideas are ultimately real, and different from non ideal things indeed, he argued for a distinction between the ideal and non ideal realm.

Unreferenced date December 2009 Platonism Platonic epistemology holds that knowledge is innate, so that learning is the development of ideas buried deep in the soul, often under the midwife like guidance of an interrogator. Plato believed that each soul existed before birth with The Form of the Good and a perfect knowledge of everything. Thus, when something is learned it is actually just recalled. Plato drew a sharp distinction between knowledge , which is certain, and mere opinion , which is not certain. Opinions derive from the shifting world of sensation knowledge derives from the world of timeless forms, or essence s. In the Republic , these concepts were illustrated using the metaphor of the sun, the divided line, and the allegory of the cave. Platonic doctrine of recollection The Platonic doctrine of recollection or Anamnesis philosophy anamnesis , is the idea that we are born possessing all knowledge and our realization of that knowledge is contingent on our discovery of it. Whether the doctrine should be taken literally or not is a subject of debate. The soul is trapped in the body. The soul once lived in Reality , but got trapped in the body. It once knew everything, but forgot it. The goal of Recollection is to get back to true Knowledge. To do this, one must overcome the body. This doctrine implies that nothing is ever learned, it is simply recalled or remembered. In short it says that all that we know already comes pre loaded on birth and our senses enable us to identify and recognize the stratified information in our mind.

Hindu philosophy There are currents of idealism in classical Hindu philosophy . Idealism and materialism are the principal monism monist ontology ontologies . A related branch is the Buddhist concept of consciousness only . Idealist notions have been supported by the Vedanta and Raja Yoga Yoga schools opposed by dualist Samkhya , the atomist Vaisheshika , the materialist Nyaya and Mimamsa as well as the atheist C rv ka schools. Like Platonicidealism , Hindu idealism is essentially monotheism monotheist , espousing the view that consciousness , which at its root emanates from God Brahman , Purusha or Svayam bhagavan , is the essence or meaning of the Maya illusion phenomenal reality . The presence of idealist concepts in Indian thought has been emphasized by Rupert Sheldrake and Fritjof Capra . These ideas have also been developed by P.R. Sarkar and advanced by his disciple Sohail Inayatullah , notably in the theory of Microvitum . Liberation The essence of Hindu Idealism is captured by such modern spiritual teachers as Nisargadatta Maharaj Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj , Sri Aurobindo and P.R. Sarkar Sri Anandamurti , also known as P.R. Sarkar. Sri Nisargadatta advocated discovery of the real self . By establishing oneself in the earnestness of spiritual pursuits, it is possible to transcend the temporal self, limited by desires, fears, memories and mental constructs, and gain blissful immersion in the pure consciousness of God. Sarkar went further by emphasising that liberation was best achieved through service to self and society, exemplified by his socio spiritual movement Ananda Marga , or the Path of Bliss .

W. F. Hegel . Acceptance It was successful in laying a theory of regarding thought that garnered enough attention to prove a competition to the new waves of positivism and therefore materialist conceptions of social life that were vying for reformist tendencies in the politics of the time. Its ideas therefore were key to helping the Fascist party consolidate power in Italy with its own reform, and integral to giving Fascism the content of its philosophical sentiment. Despite this, Gentile claimed Actual Idealism to be the true variety of positivism & the proper interpretation of the concept of positivism. ref The Philosophy of Giovanni Gentile An Inquiry into Gentile s Conception of Experience ref Tenets Actual Idealism holds that it is the Actus purus act of thinking as perception , not creative thought as imagination, which defines reality.
