[[Subjective idealism]], which proposes that a material object exists only to the extent that a human being perceives the object > 2. [[Objective idealism]], which proposes the existence of an objective [[consciousness]] that exists prior to and independently of human consciousness, thus the existence of the object is independent of human [[perception]]. > > In contrast to materialism, idealism asserts the primacy of [[consciousness]] as the origin and prerequisite of phenomena. Idealism holds that consciousness (the mind) is the origin of the material world. > ##### ^dataviews > [!dataview]+ Related unlinked notes > > No results to show for list query. > [!dataview]- Other unlinked mentions > > No results to show for list query. #### Discussion > ![[10_Sources/books - Being You#^314685806]]
