Idealism in philosophy, also known as philosophical idealism or metaphysical idealism, is the set of metaphysical perspectives asserting that, most fundamentally, reality is equivalent to mind, spirit, or consciousness; that reality is entirely a mental construct; or that ideas are the highest type of reality or have the greatest claim to being considered "real". Because there are different types of idealism, it is difficult to define the term uniformly.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">British idealism</span> Philosophical movement

A subset of absolute idealism, British idealism was a philosophical movement that was influential in Britain from the mid-nineteenth century to the early twentieth century. The leading figures in the movement were T. H. Green (1836–1882), F. H. Bradley (1846–1924), and Bernard Bosanquet (1848–1923). They were succeeded by the second generation of J. H. Muirhead (1855–1940), J. M. E. McTaggart (1866–1925), H. H. Joachim (1868–1938), A. E. Taylor (1869–1945), and R. G. Collingwood (1889–1943). The last major figure in the tradition was G. R. G. Mure (1893–1979). Doctrines of early British idealism so provoked the young Cambridge philosophers G. E. Moore and Bertrand Russell that they began a new philosophical tradition, analytic philosophy.

Tidehverv is the name of a Danish theological movement and its associated periodical. Professor Hans Morten Haugen has described it as the most influential theological movement in Denmark. Originally it was a Grundtvigian movement reacting against liberal theology and its ethical-idealist stance; in the late 20th century it shifted in a national conservative, anti-modernist direction with two of its leading members, Søren Krarup and Jesper Langballe, representing the Danish People's Party in Parliament. Its theological approach has been characterized as a combination of Luther's doctrine of the two kingdoms, Søren Kierkegaard's existentialism and Grundtvig's emphasis on the Danish nation.
