- Concepts used in human knowledge refer to a physical reality which has priority
- Knowledge is discovered rather than created
- Truth is determined by the correspondence between knowledge and the physical world
Idealism holds that:
- The world as we know it is a construction of the mind
- Human knowledge is a subjective or social construction that does not necessarily correspond to the outside world
- All knowledge is affected by language and culture
- The truth of statements depends on their coherence with the rest of the knowledge
