Materialism vs. Idealism

By William Kingsland

Book Overview

""Materialism vs. Idealism"" by William Kingsland is a philosophical treatise that explores the two opposing views of reality, materialism and idealism. The author delves into the fundamental questions about the nature of reality, existence, and consciousness. He presents materialism as the belief that the physical world is the only reality, and that everything can be explained by the laws of physics and chemistry. On the other hand, he presents idealism as the belief that the mind and consciousness are the only reality, and that the physical world is a mere illusion. Kingsland argues that both materialism and idealism have their limitations and that a synthesis of the two is necessary to arrive at a more comprehensive understanding of reality. He draws upon the teachings of ancient wisdom traditions, such as Hinduism, Buddhism, and Theosophy, to support his arguments. The book also explores the relationship between science and spirituality and how they can be integrated to provide a more complete picture of reality. Overall, ""Materialism vs. Idealism"" is a thought-provoking and insightful book that challenges readers to question their assumptions about reality and encourages them to explore alternative perspectives. It is suitable for anyone interested in philosophy, spirituality, and the nature of reality.THIS 24 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Scientific Idealism: or Matter and Force and Their Relation to Life and Consciousness, by William Kingsland.
