Absolute Idealism. ‘Idealism’ is the name sometimes given to philosophical theories according to which reality is mental or spiritual (ideal from ‘idea’) rather than material or independent of mind. ‘Absolute Idealism’ is distinguished from ‘Subjective Idealism’. Whereas ‘Subjective Idealism’ is typically understood as holding that the only reality is ideas in the human mind, ‘Absolute Idealism’ says that there is significant reality outside the human mind.
