Do you think materialism is fading out, leaving space for idealism to return again to the forefront of metaphysics? Let us know in the comments below! To watch the full talk visit iai.tv/video/the-return-of-idealism-james-tartaglia?TH-cam&+comment
In another transcendental reality I watched the other 10 odd mins of this video without having to bounce out of a TH-cam link, then open in iOS Safari, then AirPlay back to my my tv to watch the rest with horrible borked lip sync. I mean seriously, just upload the whole thing here, happy to suffer the ads.
Materialism is not only in ICU but it's taken out of life support. Besides the fact that we are gaining more and more knowledge about the fallacies of materialism, we aren't seeing any respectable thinker defending it anymore.
Not really enough in the video to go either way. If materialism is here then its nots the same as old, as even in physics, maths and biology open up philosophically relevant new areas that could explain by emergence, without a necessity to argue consciousness is illusory.
Idealism is long overdue for a comeback. Materialism suffers from the hard problem of consciousness and dualism suffers from the interaction problem. Idealism preserves the irreducibility of consciousness, like the dualist wants, while also preserving monism, which the materialist wants. Therefore idealism is a view that has all the strengths of materialism and dualism, but without any of their weaknesses.
There is no hard problem of consciousness. Take away the material that makes the thought and there is no thought. Materialism wins hands down. Everything else is just wordplay.
@@captainzappbrannagan You still have the hard problem of consciousness because now you have to explain how the material "makes the thought". If you embrace idealism and hold thought to be fundamental then the hard problem of consciousness is dissolved.
@@MonisticIdealism Because something is not known doesn't mean you fill it in with another thing to call it more known. There is evidence for material what's the evidence for magic? I don't see any problem here except using a god of the gaps type argument because we don't have all information yet.
@@captainzappbrannagan There is no evidence for magic which is exactly why you have no evidence that the material "makes the thought". We know for sure that experience is real and we know the world with experience. Why believe the world is anything more than experience when all we know is experience?
For me, one of the main problems, is the thinking that a particular hypothesis has been proven, Materialism/Physicalism was never proved, & Idealism never falsified, but for ages people behaved as though they were, we're still doing it with many hypothesis, Dark matter, Black holes, the Big Bang, Neuronal correlates of Consciousness etc etc.
Since quantum mechanics materialism is doomed, Bernardo Kastrup’s analytical idealism gives the best argumentation for idealism based on in science, reason and logic, I really recommended.

A big F.U to your paywall!
No.

@@MonisticIdealism Incorrect. All of the evidence suggests matter gives rise to consciousness, there is none for your counter argument.

As old as the basic premise may be, something like Kastrup's alters is what currently connects the most dots & by far IMO.

Usual IAI clickbait
Fads come back.
