Philosophical Idealism

       Philosophical idealism is the idea that concepts and numbers are more real than physical things in the world around us. Some of the arguments for philosophical idealism are that humans have an immortal soul, which is more real than our physical body, and is the cause of our physical bodies. Also, the fact that physical things like trees, rocks, and hippos come into existence, and out of existence, but ideas and numbers last forever. Concepts cannot be destroyed.  Some arguments against this idea are that concepts are not tangible, so we cannot experience them. Physical things however, are tangible and we can sense them which makes the more real to us. Also, though these physical things may die, their matter is never destroyed, so they also exist forever, just in different form that we can still sense which makes them more real to us.
