The New Idealism (1922)

""The New Idealism"" is a philosophical treatise written by May Sinclair and published in 1922. The book explores the concept of idealism, which is the belief that reality is ultimately mental or spiritual in nature. Sinclair argues that this view of reality is not only valid, but also necessary for a complete understanding of the world. Sinclair begins by examining the history of idealism, tracing its roots back to ancient Greek philosophy and following its development through the works of philosophers such as Immanuel Kant and George Berkeley. She then presents her own version of idealism, which she calls ""the new idealism."" This philosophy emphasizes the importance of the individual mind in creating and shaping reality. Throughout the book, Sinclair explores a wide range of topics, including the nature of consciousness, the relationship between mind and matter, and the role of intuition in understanding the world. She also discusses the implications of idealism for ethics and religion, arguing that a spiritual view of reality can provide a basis for a more compassionate and just society. Overall, ""The New Idealism"" is a thought-provoking and insightful exploration of one of the most fundamental questions of philosophy: what is the nature of reality? Sinclair's writing is clear and accessible, making this book an excellent introduction to the world of idealist philosophy.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
