What strengthened your idealism?

As we all know, because of the glorious history of German classical philosophy, idealism was once a very popular philosophical school in ontology. However, in today's 2 1 century, "terrible" can no longer be used to describe the misery of idealism. In the field of metaphysics, especially the philosophy of mind (the first philosophy in today's philosophy), it is no exaggeration to describe the unity of rivers and lakes with physicalism (in a broad sense). The only thing that remains is various forms of dualism (for example, in the statistical survey conducted by David Chalmers, a master of philosophy of mind, on what exists in the external world in 20 13, 8 1.6% of the philosophers who participated in the statistics chose to believe in non-skeptical realism, while only 4.3% believed in idealism, even less than 4.6% of skepticism. Therefore, idealism is abandoned like a dead dog by academic circles, which is not ridicule but fact.

However, there will always be people who do not believe in evil. For example, in Germany, which has a fine tradition of idealism, Franz von Kutschera (1933- present), an early representative of post-war native analytical philosophy, absorbed British and American analytical philosophy, but did not accept the mainstream views of physicalism or dualism. On the contrary, he has been committed to using analytical methods to make the traditional transcendental idealism in Germany "blossom new flowers in old trees". So how did he demonstrate transcendental idealism? First of all, there is a very important concept in the philosophy of mind called "persistence". "Attachment relationship" often refers to the strong connection between body (a person's physical state) and mind (a person's mental state) on physical and mental issues. For example, when a person is cut by a knife, his nervous state changes and his corresponding mental state changes, and he feels pain. People's physical state and mental state are almost always interdependent.
