This introduction offers our definition of idealism proper as the reduction of reality to something mental or conceptual. Then, instead of distinguishing between metaphysical and epistemological versions of idealism, we distinguish between metaphysical and epistemological arguments or motivations for idealism. In this we follow A. C. Ewing rather than Josiah Royce. Our approach prepares the way for our larger argument that the metaphysical arguments for idealism are hard to sustain, but the epistemological arguments for idealism are hard to avoid. |
