The New Word

In "The New Word," Allen Upward presents an open letter to the Swedish Academy in Stockholm, exploring the meaning of the word "idealist." Upward delves into the philosophical implications of idealism, dissecting its various interpretations and challenging conventional understandings. He advocates for a fresh perspective, urging the Academy and its members to reconsider the term's significance in contemporary thought. This thought-provoking essay offers valuable insights into the nuances of language, philosophy, and the ongoing debate surrounding idealism.
