Objective idealism - Definition

Objective idealism is a metaphysics that postulates that there is in an important sense only one perceiver, and that this perceiver is one with that which is perceived.

One important advocate of such a metaphysic, Josiah Royce wrote that he was indifferent "whether anybody calls all this Theism or Pantheism."

It is, certainly, distinct from the subjective idealism of George Berkeley, and it abandons the thing-in-itself of Kant's dualism.
