Idealism - Mind Over Matter in...

Hector Davidson

Idealism, as a philosophical doctrine, holds that the mind and its ideas are the primary reality, shaping the material world rather than being shaped by it. This perspective challenges the materialist viewpoint that places physical matter at the foundation of existence. From ancient Greek philosophy to modern quantum theories, idealism has provided a profound framework for understanding reality, perception, and consciousness. 
Throughout history, idealism has offered a lens through which thinkers could explore the mysteries of existence. Plato’s theory of forms, for instance, posited that the tangible world is a shadow of a higher, more real world of ideas. Similarly, German idealists such as Immanuel Kant, Johann Gottlieb Fichte, and Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel expanded on these concepts, arguing that human perception actively constructs reality. These ideas have not only shaped philosophy but have also influenced disciplines ranging from art to science. 
At its core, idealism raises fundamental questions about the nature of reality. Is the external world independent of our consciousness, or does it exist only as a construct of the mind? Idealism asserts that our understanding of the universe is intrinsically tied to our subjective experiences, emphasizing that thought and consciousness are the building blocks of reality. This contrasts sharply with materialism, which contends that physical matter exists independently and is the source of all mental phenomena.

Integrating Psychology and Faith...

Paul Moes, Blake Riek

This textbook updates the conversation about models of psychology and faith integration, helping students understand the range of options for Christian engagement. Drawing from themes developed in Paul Moes's well-received Exploring Psychology and Christian Faith (coauthored with Donald J. Tellinghuisen), Integrating Psychology and Faith develops a set of worldview dimensions that serve to organize a variety of psychology-faith integration models. 
 
Paul Moes and Blake Riek set forth principles and themes and establish historical context to help students explore where different views fit on a continuum of approaches to integration and understand the perspectives of other Christians in the field of psychology. In this way, students come to better understand the organizing principles for various views about psychology that they encounter. The book also shows how theological traditions and positions shape views on natural science, social science, and psychology.
