CEVAP:

While questioning how humans acquire knowledge, idealism not only emphasized the role of the senses as in empiricism, but also the role of the mind. It suggested that by combining and integrating the sensations, perceptions and observations, humans’ mind plays an active role in the development of knowledge. This meant that humans’ mind makes inferences based on the experiences in the world, which are gained through the senses. Thus, according to idealism, humans’ mind is creative or it constructs the knowledge of the world.
