Definition of Manifestations of Metaphysical and Idealistic Thinking

This an undated document, probably from the late 1970's

 

MANIFESTATIONS OF METAPHYSICAL THINKING:
A. Thinking that doesn't show the interconnections of things (external and internal), only the parts and aspects disconnected from the whole .
B. Thinking that is iron cast or static, and takes the form of either this or that, and no in between .
C. Thinking that shows external conditions as the prime factor for motivating forward motion or backward motion

MANIFESTATIONS OF IDEALISM:
A. Idealism asserts the primacy of ideals, consciousness, over and against
material reality; in a word, idealism seeks to fit material reality into a framework of subjective conscoiusness .
B. Idealism operates off of assumptions, preconceived notions, and abstract theoretical concepts seperated from material reality.
