idealism is a monism of two options:
1) reductionist - matter is actually the result of mental activity
2) eliminativist - matter doesn't exist there's just mental stuff.

Reverse it for materialism

Dualism is like, `yo dawg there are two independent substances. Dunno how they connect.`

YOU CONFLATE "IDEA" AND "MENTAL ACTIVITY" WHICH IS CLEARLY REJECTED

AND IT IS NOT REDUCTIONISM PER SE TO STATE THAT CAUSE/EFFECT RELATIONSHIPS APPLY TO MATTER AND IDEA

Can we avoid semantics

Like I know you know exactly the thinking I'm trying to put into words here

By that I mean clearly stating stuff that's come up in the history of ideas

IT IS NOT SEMANTICS TO UNDERSTAND A THEORY CORRECTLY, I WOULD THINK

DUALISM POSITS A SEPARATION BETWEEN MATERIAL AND IDEA

yeah

IDEALISM PRESENTS A UNIFIED NOTION, IS THAT CORRECT?

(I AM NOT TRYING TO RUN YOU DOWN HERE. AS I TOLD SEXILARCH, THIS IS A FRIENDLY CONVERSATION.)

(AND PEOPLE CAN FEEL FREE TO DISAGREE.)

There are two types of idealism

Oh I'm not upset

Or frustrated even

Just trying to lay out some background and context before even getting to schopenhauer

Are platonic forms dualism then

kinda outta scope since that theory came outta a different culture with a different set of folk assumptions

I mean obviously if you've read WWR platonism is mentioned

Ur a folk

And kinda synthesized

I'm asking @diversity_is_racism

Since I never understood what he meant by dualism

Oh

@devolved NO, BECAUSE THEY ARE MORE IN LINE WITH DUALISM

PLATONIC FORMS POSIT AN UNDERLYING ORDER TO THIS WORLD, NOT A SEPARATE WORLD

THIS GETS DIFFICULT BECAUSE THERE ARE POTENTIALLY ADDITIONAL DIMENSIONS OR LAYERS TO THIS WORLD

BUT UNLIKE DUALISM

THE RULES ARE NOT DIFERENT

THE TWO WORLDS ARE DIRECTLY JOINED

how do you personally join them

Like there's basically zero cause and effect relationship between Fingerness and the five digits protruding from my palm.

Not finish with this thread but it is a good read.

@༺པརབྱར།བསངཇ༻ ACTUALLY, THE CORE OF THE ARGUMENT IS THAT THERE IS

FINGERNESS IS NOT A MATERIAL

IT IS A PATTERN (OUR WORD FOR "FORM")

What's the causal link between the immaterial form and the material object
