Is idealistic the above view?

"...Epistemologically, the dialectical view, in contrast to the classical one, considers knowledge to be connected to action. The act modifies the object and "captures" it through the transformations introduced by the act itself. The subject extends into the object with its instruments: logic and mathematics, just as we are shown in microphysics, that is, that there are no boundaries between the subject and the object."(1998 Epameinondas Xenopoulos "Epistemology of Logic" (www.epistemology.gr)

  1. Idealism is (1) a philosophical position that argues reality (as we can tell) is fundamentally mentally constructed or immaterial. (2) the view that the object of recognition is limited to what can be perceived because humans can only grasp what is in the mind when recognizing.

...logic and mathematics, just as we are shown in microphysics, that is, that there are no boundaries between the subject and the object.

  1. As mentioned in the paragraph you suggest, when the subject tries to identify the object using the tools of logic and mathematics, what she/he gains is also an abstract and immaterial mathematics/logic formula. In other words, when we use the Schrödinger equation to understand the world at the quantum physics level, or apply the Dirac equation, which extends it relativistically, we still only get abstract forms: abstract expressions in numbers and symbols which are immaterial. The subject has no choice but to understand the object using these tools which represent the reality idealistically. Our perception is limited to the use of these tools. Therefore, I think it is not unreasonable to call the view above idealistic.

Epistemologically, the dialectical view, in contrast to the classical one, considers knowledge to be connected to action. The act modifies the object and "captures" it through the transformations introduced by the act itself.

  1. We can call it a kind of dialectical process when our act tries to modify and captures the object through the transformations introduced by the act itself. For this dialectic epistemological process, we can take Heisenberg's uncertainty principle as an example. Here, the acquisition of knowledge and act, the subject and the object are inextricably related, and knowledge also appears in the form of mathematics and logical symbols which is abstract and immaterial. The subject has no choice but to understand the object using these tools which represent the reality idealistically. Our perception is also limited to the use of these tools. Therefore, the philosophical implications of the epistemological process still do not deviate from the idealistic view.

  2. In conclusion, I think the gist of the citation paragraph above is that idealistic reality perception is dialectically supported by microphysical observation.

  • In the answers above, 'understand', 'perception', and 'recognition' were used without strict distinction.
