Objective idealism

The objective idealism is a world view in which the material being is a spiritual being is based. It stands as a philosophical conception ontologically opposed to materialism. At the same time it should be deferred from spiritualism.

During the subjective idealism emphasizes the dependence of the reality of the subjective consciousness, understands the objective or absolute idealism to reality as a form of spiritual- ideal and keeps the acquisition of an objective reality through the thinking consciousness possible.

Examples for this variant of idealism are the philosophy of Plato and the German idealism. Important philosophers of German idealism in the wake of Immanuel Kant are Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel and Friedrich Wilhelm Joseph von Schelling as an objective idealist, while Johann Gottlieb Fichte was of a subjective idealism.

Modern representatives of objective idealism are, for example Vittorio Hösle and Dieter Schneider wall.

Rudolf Steiner called 1925 his own philosophical position also as objective idealism.
