I have begun to think that the division between theism and atheism is anything but a black or white issue, — Jack Cummins
No. No. And yes I think they are "connected".idealism and belief in God. I wonder are the two connected as philosophical ideas? — Jack Cummins
I wonder to what extent such a non-dualistic viewpoint offers a solution to the split between materialism and idealism, as well as between atheism and theism. — Jack Cummins

His general perspective is one of the idea of 'God' as consciousness itself and of interconnectedness. — Jack Cummins
The 'new age' movement did usher the ideas of interconnectedness. The romanticism of new age has died and may have been replaced by brokenness and isolation. — Jack Cummins
t would be hard to defend idealism in the face of science and quantum physics demonstrates duality, such as in particle as a particle and wave. It presents a less certain nature of causality. — Jack Cummins
both atheism and theism are partial truths — Jack Cummins
"Non-duality", like monism, I don't find as "helpful" (i.e. incisive) as double-aspect theory¹ (e.g. Spinoza's mind-body parallelism of Substance/God) because I assume "the split" is epistemic – different, complementary ways of describing the same entity – but not ontological.I wonder to what extent such a non-dualistic viewpoint offers a solution to the split between materialism and idealism, as well as between atheism and theism. [ ... ] I am focusing on the idea of non-duality and asking do you see the idea as helpful or not in your philosophical understanding, especially in relation to the concept of God? — Jack Cummins
No. I'm a pandeist²Do you believe in the existence of 'God?
No. I'm a naturalist³Do you support a philosophy of idealism?

IMO, "a non-dualistic viewpoint" doesn't "solve" these logical negations (i.e. "the split"), only denies-ignores them. — 180 Proof
I wonder to what extent such a non-dualistic viewpoint offers a solution to the split between materialism and idealism, as well as between atheism and theism. I am aware that there have been many debates on the topic on the forum. Also, there are various philosophical positions, including substance dualism and deism, so it is a complicated area.

Nonsense — Lionino
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abstract_nonsense
In mathematics, abstract nonsense, general abstract nonsense, generalized abstract nonsense, and general nonsense are nonderogatory terms used by mathematicians to describe long, theoretical parts of a proof they skip over when readers are expected to be familiar with them.[1] These terms are mainly used for abstract methods related to category theory and homological algebra. More generally, "abstract nonsense" may refer to a proof that relies on category-theoretic methods, or even to the study of category theory itself.
The issues are tricky, however, because of the words.;For instance, 'transcendental' or 'absolute' idealism is non-dualism. — FrancisRay
More nonsense. — Lionino
I suggest you seek basic education so you don't have to abuse random internet links to appear smart. — Lionino

Open-Source Performance: Mixed-Integer and Linear Programming Comparisons
Performance is typically a crucial consideration when choosing a solver. To give a sense of the relative performance of the various solver options listed above, we’ve summarized the results of independent benchmark tests maintained by Hans Mittelmann at Arizona State.
If we look at performance on Mixed Integer Programming (MIP) models across a broad set of test models, the table below shows results along two key dimensions: a) was the solver able to solve the model, and b) how quickly was the model solved? As you can see from the results, performance varies widely across solvers.

It may be that those with a more mystical leaning find it makes sense than those with a more theoretical approach. — Jack Cummins
I do find the ideas of Eastern traditions more compatible than many in Western theism or atheism. — Jack Cummins
Maybe there is something in that which the West, having ignored (in Philosophy, to date), has not "seen." I.e., for instance ...that the human organism can by a physical exercise of the body sitting in meditation, come to "see" with its organic senses, released very briefly from Mind's constructions, that all in Nature (what we call the Universe) is One. — ENOAH
Get involved in philosophical discussions about knowledge, truth, language, consciousness, science, politics, religion, logic and mathematics, art, history, and lots more. No ads, no clutter, and very little agreement — just fascinating conversations.
