Pseudo-idealism
- The strategy of participating in the pursuit for ideality for one’s self, by behaving in an apparent charitable manner, with underlying selfish intentions to validate and reinforce ones sence of self.
This is a false state of idealism because to behave “charitably” is to put on an act or facade. It is “do good to feel good” behavior. It’s a form of dogma, not understanding, therefore it is a false state of idealism.

organic idealism
noun
Organic idealism acknowledges the relevance of the material world but only as an expressive attribute of substance, and that it is substance that which holds a primary, and its material or expressive attribute only secondary value. Just as is the case in the natural world, where all material or physical properties in nature are expressions of the core essence of what is natures substance which is defined by energy, and as such in the case of the material world created by man, these are in turn also the expressions of man's ideas and therefore mans inner substance.
