Development of ideas of subjective idealism at XX–XXI cc.

Philosophy

Abstract

Subjective idealism has a lot of varieties. Classic subjective idealism (George Berkeley, Johann Gottlieb Fichte, Ernst Mach) comes from the pattern of world as the aggregate of feelings. In time the problem of authenticity of feelings departs on the second plan, and on the first plan the signs systems go out as demiurge of man’s internal world, foremost is language. A man through a language creates an outer and internal world (including feelings). In the culture of ХХ–ХХI ages subjective idealism on the whole and solipsism, in particular, became the metaphor of loneliness, alienations of man from public institutes.
