Physical idealism

RE: Physical idealism
(May 14, 2016 at 9:05 am)Rhythm Wrote: When you say "this is an idea", and then proceed to describe material interactions, material objects, and the outcomes of material interactions between material objects...that you insist that they are different things or define them to be different things is irrelevant.  You described -the same thing-.

If you have some case in which they aren't..in which your description of a physical idea is not redundant with a material interaction or object, then provide -that- example.

I'm talking about physical idealism, and you are bothered when I talk about material properties and processes?  What does "physical" mean to you?

What, to you, does the word "idea" mean?
