Um, this has potential to be a great article, but a lot of the wording is truly alienating. Is it at all possible to generalize into a more immediately appreciable form, for the philosophically inept? (ahem!) If I knew ANYTHING about this, I would try myself, but, alas...

This article makes no sense. But then, 90% of Hegel makes no sense either. Mjk2357 06:05, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

Academics write hieratic prose that is not meant for demotic readers. A social class of priests and professors are needed to interpret the cryptic words for the common reader. This Wiki article of Actual Idealism could be considered to be a classic example of the academic manner. Analytic Philosophy, with its purpose of clarification, came into being in response to such uncommunicative writing.Lestrade (talk) 19:58, 12 April 2008 (UTC)Lestrade

[edit] Sentences: poor & obscure

In the Postulate section, the following passage seems to contain a sentence fragment:

If truth is what surpasses the conditions of every proposition, taking a known postulate as truth removes its criteria from having that capability in thinking. Objectifying actuality.

Because of the seemingly intentional Hegelian obscurity of the article, however, it is difficult to know if this is an error. Is this article trying to communicate concepts or is it trying to astonish readers with its academic verbal jugglery?Lestrade 22:46, 4 October 2007 (UTC)Lestrade

[edit] Fascism template.

Though I've removed it, the Fascism template (a political template) has been re-added. Though the philosophy, in the eyes of it's originator, accepted Fascism, Fascism did not accept Actual Idealism. Regardless of what either did for the other. It should have a philosophy, or Philosophical idealism, navigational template. Not a Fascism one. Any discussion about this should be added here.
