ИДЕАЛИЗМ СУБЪЕКТИВНЫЙ

Idealism, Subjective

A philosophical trend, according to which the objective world cannot be regarded as existing independently of man's cognitive activity and means of cognition. Consistent subjective idealists end up in solipsism. The classical exponents of Subjective Idealism were Berkeley, Fichte, Mach. The modern varieties of Subjective Idealism are pragmatism, operationism, neo-positivism, existentialism, etc.

Subjective Idealism's theory of knowledge is based on an absolutisation of the subjective sides of the real process of cognition. Actually, however, the fact that cognition is subjective does not deny its objective content and source. Practice furnishes proof of the objective nature of our knowledge. At the same time, the subjective and the objective can be contraposed only within the framework of the fundamental question of philosophy (see Idealism; Objective Idealism).

Субъективный идеализм

Одна из основных разновидностей идеализма; в отличие от объективного идеализма, отрицает наличие какой-либо реальности вне сознания субъекта либо рассматривает её как нечто полностью определяемое его активностью. См. Идеализм, Солипсизм.
