Transcendental Idealism

Immanuel Kant's epistemological philosophical system which holds that space and time are not properties of independent real things in themselves, but are rather a priori intuitions possessed by our minds, and everything we perceive is subject to this space and time intuition. However, as opposed to George Berkeley's subjective idealism which holds that nothing exists outside the mind, Kant's transcendental idealism accepts the existence of external objects independent of our mind but distinguishes between noumena (things-in-themselves as they actually are) and phenomena (things as we perceive them), we can only Intuit the phenomena (or the appearance of the object) from the noumena (which we can never directly perceive). Thus Kant acknowledges that while we can never know the noumena, the phenomena sufficiently conform to our concepts of them and that in order to make sense of the empirical world, we must presuppose transcendentally a consciousness that unites intuitions under concepts.

Transcendental Idealism has had important influence on the development of philosophy in general and German Idealism in particular

I have no idea what you're talking about

The most self-incriminating thing a suspect can say to a law enforcement official.

A suspect who has a substantial amount of evidence linking him/her to a crime will act completely oblivious to the matter.

Saying such a phrase will destroy a suspect's credibility since he/she is being non-cooperative and is obviously lying.

Officer: We've got your DNA on the dead body, your fingerprints are all over the murder weapon, and we have three credible eye-witnesses saying they saw you pull the trigger!

Suspect: I have no idea what you're talking about.

Officer: Thanks, that's all I needed to hear.

idealistic

One who believes that life should be lived as they like. Many hippies and hermits were idealistic, only this is only a portion. Morals may interfere with total idealism, especially if certain things were instilled in one as a child as being "bad". This results in guilt for doing "wrong" things, although some are able to overcome this and live their life to the fullest they think is possible.

Screw my condescending parents and their morals, I'm idealistic and don't want to be a mindless, robotic fool that conforms to every new trend!

idealism

cynically said: the art to believe in utopias.
realistically said: following principles and dreams.

This guy changed his idealism for pragmatism when he came to power.

idealist

Someone who thinks everyone should think like them, and that how they think is absolute.
They are more likely to be called "delusional", even when they are right sometimes. They are also someone who's bound to be disappointed in the whole world after they give up on their endless pursuit of changing the world, even if their intentions are most noble. They are prone to using substances for coping up with the harsh reality they live in because it cripples their soul when they can't do anything about it.

The average person can't survive as a 100% idealist. Some amount of realism must be adopted. Otherwise you're just a hippy.

For instance,

I'm not an idealist when I'm writing this definition.
