    Major Western schools of Idealism


    Subjective Idealism

    Objects exist only as that of perception and not


    beyond it
    Objects do not exist if they are not perceived!
    Not very rigorous, as Berkeley admits many minds
    Infinite mind as the cognizer of the entire universe
    Images depend on human mind
    Attributes depend on the Infinite Mind
    Only direct knowledge possible

    Phenomenalism
    Human

    knowledge is limited
    Knowledge of phenomenon alone is the
    possibility
    Hence, objects are just phenomenal, Kant
    Experience akin to objects
    Knowledge of Noumenal reality as
    impossible
    Led to scepticism and dichotomy

    Ultimate
