Hindu Idealism

There are currents of idealism in both ancient and classical Hindu philosophy.

The presence of idealist concepts in Indian thought has been emphasized by Rupert Sheldrake and Fritjof Capra.

Famous quotes containing the word idealism:

    My formula for greatness in human beings is amor fati: that one wants to change nothing, neither forwards, nor backwards, nor in all eternity. Not merely to endure necessity, still less to hide it—all idealism is mendacity in the face of necessity—but rather to love it.
    Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
