RE: Idealism is more Rational than Materialism

February 10, 2015 at 8:18 am

Umm .. wow. Once again I am late to the party. I am astonished to find anyone seriously proposing idealism in this day and age. What I wonder is why? I could play the what-if game out too but I can't imagine talking myself into idealism as a viable alternative. Nothing wrong with it as an exercise of course but why would you want to live there, or do you?
