idealism is an account of man finding himself as an integral part of a universe
of mind.”

as it seems to us to be a mere phenomenon.”

Universe is matter.

is nature.
Hocking define,” Naturalism is metaphysics which considers
nature as the whole of reality. It excludes what is supernatural or of other
world.”
