Reviews

The material presented here is wide ranging, highly engaging, and likely to be of interest to philosophers and students working on any of a number of ongoing debates in metaphysics, philosophy of mind, epistemology, and philosophy of language, philosophy of religion, and philosophy of science. ... I found this volume enormously fruitful, and I have no doubt that the contributions it contains will inform much of the discussion of idealism in the years to come.
*Adam P. Taylor, Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews*

After a century or so in the darkness, the idea that minds play a central role in constituting reality is once more emerging into the philosophical sun. This welcome collection explores idealism in many different forms, and makes a strong case that it is a living view that may shed light on many philosophical problems.
