Summary

"Few contemporary philosophers take idealism seriously. The View from Everywhere aims to change this, developing a new quasi-Berkeleyan realist idealism, which does not depend upon God to do the metaphysical heavy lifting. This non-theistic idealism requires a fresh approach to the persistence and stability of the physical world. The resulting theory offers unique accounts of the nature of perception and the relationship between our minds and our bodies. There must be something outside of us that can sustain objects when we are not perceiving them, and account for the regularity of our perceptions. But this needn't be a god in any recognizable sense. When we peel away all the attributes of God that aren't essential for these purposes, we're left with a simpler and more intelligible metaphysical picture"-- Provided by publisher.
