Historical Evolution of Idealism:
- Ancient Greece (4th century BCE):
  - Plato is a key figure.
  - Proposed two worlds:
    - Sensible world (physical, perceived by senses)
    - Intelligible world (world of ideas/forms, accessible by reason)
  - Ideas like justice, beauty, and good exist in the intelligible world and are more real than physical objects.
- Middle Ages (5th-15th centuries):
  - Saint Augustine of Hippo combined Platonic ideas with Christianity.
  - God’s ideas are the ultimate reality; the physical world is a creation of the divine mind.
  - Idealism was heavily influenced by religious doctrine.
- Modern Age (16th-17th centuries):
  - René Descartes emphasized mind and consciousness as the basis of knowledge ("I think, therefore I am").
  - George Berkeley presented a radical Idealism claiming that only perceptions and perceiving minds exist; physical objects do not exist independently of perception.
German Idealism (Late 18th - Early 19th centuries):
- Initiated by Immanuel Kant with his transcendental Idealism:
  - We cannot know reality as it is in itself, only as it appears through our perceptions.
  - The mind actively structures our experience of the world.
- Other key philosophers: Johann Gottlieb Fichte and Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel.
  - They expanded Kant’s ideas, viewing the mind or spirit as the creator of reality.
  - Hegel introduced the concept of reality as dynamic and evolving over time.
  - German Idealism emphasizes the role of the individual’s consciousness in creating and understanding reality, unlike earlier Idealism which focused more on society and fixed ideas.
