Editing Objective idealism (section)

== In German idealism ==
Within [[German idealism]], objective idealism identifies with the philosophy of [[Friedrich Schelling]].{{Sfn|Altman|2014|p=4}} According to Schelling, the rational or spiritual elements of reality are supposed to give conceptual structure to reality and ultimately constitute reality, to the point that nature and mind, matter and concept, are essentially identical: their distinction is merely psychological and depends on our predisposition to distinguish the "outside us" (nature, world) from the "in us" (mind, spirit).<ref>{{Citation |last1=Guyer |first1=Paul |title=Idealism |date=2023 |url=https://plato.stanford.edu/archives/spr2023/entries/idealism/ |encyclopedia=The Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy |editor-last=Zalta |editor-first=Edward N. |access-date=2023-05-08 |edition=Spring 2023 |publisher=Metaphysics Research Lab, Stanford University |last2=Horstmann |first2=Rolf-Peter |editor2-last=Nodelman |editor2-first=Uri}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=German Idealism {{!}} Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy |url=https://iep.utm.edu/germidea/ |access-date=2023-05-08 |language=en-US}}</ref> Within that tradition of philosophical thought, the entire world manifests itself through ideas and is governed by purposes or ends: regardless of the existence of a self-conscious subject, all reality is a manifestation of reason.{{Sfn|Beiser|2020|p=503}}
