If they are an idealist, yes. If they are a materialist, no. That question is like asking if a doctor is 35 years old.

Gotcha mate.

We may be talking about different things, are you aware of what idealism and materialism are in philosophical terms?

I haven't delved into the philosophy of idealism, so I'm a seed in that. Just looked up the wikipedia article when you brought it up. Found it to be an umbrella term, so I couldn't really determine my stead on it.

Elementary Principles of Philosophy is a full book, but is absolutely my favorite primer on dialectical materialism, and how it came to be, going over earlier idealism, vulgar materialism, the origins of dialectics, etc. I recommend giving it a read!

By the way, could you recommend some epub reader for linux by any chance?

[–] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 6 points 4 months ago

I think Koreader works well on Linux! I also recommend just reading it on mobile.
