Who this is
“He was the greatest critic of the school he ended up joining — and instead of burning his old tools, he brought them with him. Philosophy remembers him twice: once for each side of the argument.”
The big idea, in the book's words:
“Consistency, shared experience, and real-world consequences do not prove there is a mind-independent world — everything you will ever encounter arrives as a construction of consciousness, and he argued the point with a rigor his opponents never matched.”
