Philosophy Analytic idealism

By Bernardo Kastrup

Summary

Argues for analytic idealism: all of reality is phenomenal (mental), with nature being the extrinsic appearance of mental states. Rejects both physicalism (unfalsifiable) and panpsychism (combination problem). Dissociative disorder model explains the apparent separation of individual minds.

Why It Matters

Kastrup is the leading contemporary proponent of rigorous, analytic idealism. His work provides a framework compatible with Advaita Vedanta but argued in Western philosophical terms.
