Who is the representative of idealism?

Wang Yangming. According to modern materialism, Yangming's theory of mind is not only idealism, but also subjective idealism.

The difference between them is that idealism thinks that spirit is primary, while materialism thinks that matter is primary. Because Wang Yangming's theory of mind mentioned that "mind is reason", there appeared "heart", which was regarded as reason, so it was considered as idealism.

Wang Yangming and idealism

Although the mainstream thinks that Yangming's mind is subjective idealism, as a person who specializes in Yangming's mind, this argument is unacceptable.

But in any case, if the philosophy of the ancients can promote our thinking and give us enlightenment in life, we should not deny it, but develop and inherit it. Only in this way can Chinese civilization have a long history and be endless.
