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.

Get the Naked Idealism mug.Extraphysical Idealism is a metaphysical philosophy that states that all reality is purely mental and/or extraphysical where reality is completely dependent of the mind, the soul and the spirit, where it's almost impossible or impossible to know about anything independent of the mind, of the soul and of the spirit, where all three exists at extraphysical level and reality is constantly in interaction with extraphysics. Extraphysical idealism also advocates extraphysicalism but it supports that extraphysicalism is completely dependent of the mind, the spirit and the soul.
"Extraphysical idealism shows how it can reality be if we see it as totally dependent of extraphysics and of the mind, and even to understand that everything has it's own extraphysical counterpart and the mind is a completely extraphysical thing that we might only understand by extraphysics and extraphysicalism, same way for the soul and the spirit."
