On Idealism

Reading on idealism and I can't relate Indian system with this philosophy more. 'Building of character' over scientific enquiry , importance of mind over body in that it translates into lower emphasis on physical education, 'discipline' as means of normativising the discourse and thereby discouraging disagreements ...
The list of corelations is pretty long and obvious and I've just started reading but it's a no brainer that whole structure apparently is 'Idealist' or has tended towards idealism for now.

  1. Non scientific methods of lecturing and not giving opportunities of exploring for self with open ended questions is another case in point. Assuming a halo for oneself and keeping 'guru' above 'govind' is strand of same thought process
