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:

    It wasn’t idealism that made me, from the beginning, want a more secure and rational society. It was an intellectual judgement, to which I still hold. When I was young its name was socialism. We can be deflected by names. But the need was absolute, and is still absolute.
    Raymond Williams (1921–1988)
