Resolving of the eternal dispute between idealism and materialism, synthesis of idealism and materialism

Post by cpuproc68 »

The following paragraph is part of a larger work Philosophical research - http://sresearch.scienceontheweb.net/philosophy.php:

To resolve the age old dispute between idealism, realism, and materialism, we should probably assume the contribution of two components. In a 50/50 ratio, or with a predominance of one or the other. It seems best to adopt the golden ratio in this case. That is, a division of 0.62 of one component and 0.38 of the other. Since things and phenomena should persist and not be completely or partially unstable, we should assume a predominance of the material and real components. Thus, we will have a contribution of 0.62 of the material and real components and 0.32 of the idealistic components. Let me decribe this positions as ideorealism and ideomaterialism.

Gregory Podgorniak, Poland

about the author, My name is Gregory Podgorniak (brn. 01.1977, Szczecinek, West Pomerania, Poland). I am working on field of natural as well as social sciences. During philosophical studies at Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznan (1996-1999) I was actively act in student scientific organisation, got a scientific scholarship, and one from my articles titled Circulus vitiosus and fourfold petitio principii in the system of Descartes was published in Humanistic Drafts of Publishing House of Humaniora Foundation in Poznan, no. 6, 1998. Unfortunately certain fate events made impossible to me continuing studies to master's and later doctor's degree. Thence I was forced to be content only with a title of bachelor.
Thanks to deep and penetrating researchings I was able to establish indisputably some number of my past incarnations reaching of ancient period, these data are certain, these incarnations are: Auguste Comte (1798-1857) French philosopher and sociologist, Edme Mariotte (1620-1684) French physicist and meteorologist, Aenesidemus (1 st century BC) Greek sceptical philosopher, Arcesilaus (315-241 BC) Greek sceptical philosopher, Gorgias (485-380 BC) Greek sophist.

The microgrid has a mental form. Hence the similarity to a computer simulation.

Grid computer images from the 1980s may provide a clue.

There is also the question of the existence of other cosmoses. And they would be created by God.

The shape of microgrid is a mystery.

The absolute idealist synthesises idealism and materialism with the claim that man and other minds are the creator of everything in the relative world.

Neither idealism nor materialism address the question of eternity. Eternity however does not imply supernatural.

What we call supernatural can also be called natural.

Nothingness is the absence of any qualities or properties - it can't even be. Let alone be absolute; or eternal.

You've arrived at the wrong end of the road - Nihilism.

Rejecting, nihilism on its very grounds. Bishop Berkeley was perception and existence is a second predicate. Perceiving, of a material substance, then the unperceived does not exist. Depending, on the mind. This just leaves more of a Bishop Berkely, "Veil of perception" argument. You should have interacted with this argument in a introduction to philosophy class. Though thanking, you for the thoughts and research.

Only the absolute can be eternal, and the only sensible proposition of what the absolute is is the statement that nothingness is the absolute (and is eternal).
Collin's dictionary lists many definitions of the noun 'absolute' as in "the absolute.
The meaning I referred to is defined by Collins " viewed independently; not comparative or relative; ultimate; intrinsic
absolute knowledge".
Please consider time, space, force(causation) as relative circumstances. If these relative circumstances are constantly present as in everyday life then everyday life is relative to time, space, and force.

Nobody experiences absolute existence i.e. existence in the absence of time, space, and force. However it stands to reason that absolute existence is existence that lacks time, space, and force. N.B. absolute existence is not nothing, but is absolute .(like Skepdick said)
('Eternity' is usually taken to refer to absence of time but not of space or of force, and eternal is not a synonym for everlasting.)

Maybe God created the cosmos from himself.

The cosmos may be an extension of God's body

There is no way to reconcile the dualism of idealism versus materialism on a epistemological basis.

What is Idealism?
Idealism in philosophy, also known as philosophical idealism or metaphysical idealism, is the set of metaphysical perspectives asserting that, most fundamentally, reality is equivalent to mind, spirit, or consciousness; that reality is entirely a mental construct; or that ideas are the highest type of reality or have the greatest claim to being considered "real".
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Idealism
Let's say, whatever is idealism is "somehow" connected with the human mind.

What is Materialism?
However, an answer that captures what exactly it is that Berkeley rejects is that material things are mind-independent things or substances.
And a mind-independent thing is something whose existence is not dependent on thinking/perceiving things, and thus would exist whether or not any thinking things (minds) existed. Berkeley holds that there are no such mind-independent things, that, in the famous phrase, esse est percipi (aut percipere) — to be is to be perceived (or to perceive).
https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/berkeley/#2
From the above it is impossible to reconcile Idealism with Materialism.
Since Idealism is somehow related to the human mind and
materialism is 'absolutely'* independent of the human-mind,
there is no way 'related to mind' can reconcile with absolutely independent of mind.
* would exist whether or not any thinking things (minds) existed = absolutely.

Thus your OP is a non-starter.

How we can reconcile Idealism versus materialism is to reduce them to the common factor within psychology, neuropsychology, evolutionary psychology and critical philosophy [Kantian].

Your above also cannot proceed further to be realistic because you simply and merely ASSUME God exists without justifications nor 'prove' that God is real.
