  1. Entered nLab incorporating George Howison to the “idealism” page; and planting leads to create several related pages. “Love, too, now has its adequate definition: (at p.361)”

    Deleted this addition, as it appears to be trolling:

    (For example: Your refrigerator cannot be the product not of a materialism, but can only be the fruit of an idealism.)

    and deleted this addition as it appears to be conflating “idealisation” with the page’s topic:

    According to George Howison:

    Throughout Nature, as distinguished from idealising mind, there reigns, in fine, no causation but transmission. As every phenomenal cause is only a transmissive and therefore passive agent, so Nature itself, in its aggregate, is only a passive transmitter. But because of its origin in the Final Causation of intelligence, its whole must conform to the ideal that expresses the essential form of intelligent being, and all its parts must follow each other in a steadfast logical ascent toward that ideal as their goal. Thus Teleology, or the Reign of Final Cause, the reign of ideality, is not only an element in the notion Evolution, but is the very vital cord in the notion. (“The limits of Evolution, and other essays, illustrating the metaphysical theory of personal idealism,” at p.39, 1901/1905)

  3. Thank you sincerely for your "heard," Urs. I don't wish to convince you to let me create freely here; I'm going quietly. But, as I go, you could tell them that their refrigerator proves idealism? The refrigeration cycle is an (exceptionally good) idea! Therefore, "a person is a being who recognizes others as having a reality as unquestionable as his own[.]" "Universe" is a fools God. Romans 5:8
