Idealism

Idealism is a philosophical view. Metaphysically, this view asserts that reality, as we can know it, is mentally constructed. From the epistemological point of view this implies that, although the existence of something independent of the mind is conceded, we cannot know the reality as it is independent from our own mind. As an ontological doctrine, idealism asserts that all entities are composed of mind or spirit, thus rejecting materialism.
