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 Great Philosophers, Ch. 55

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.”
— The Great Philosophers, Ch. 55
