The View from Everywhere

Helen Yetter-Chappell here explores novel ideas about the nature of reality and our place within it. She rigorously develops a nontheistic form of idealism and offers a unique account of how our minds relate to the world. This view renders reality intelligible and captures important elements of commonsense that are left out of a stark scientific image of the world. Other topics she explores include science, illusion, and the mind-body problem. The View from Everywhere shows that there are distinctive benefits to embracing idealism - benefits that should lead us to reassess our commitment to materialist orthodoxy.
