Tried to search for Keith Ward but oddly doesn't come up...I could've sworn someone posted a video w/ him discussion Idealism?
Anyway hope this isn't a duplication:
'Historically, we may regard materialism as a system of dogma set up to combat orthodox dogma...Accordingly we find that, as ancient orthodoxies disintegrate, materialism more and more gives way to scepticism.'

I believe I posted a video of Ward discussing Idealism but I am pretty sure that would have been during the Skeptiko days. I believe he was maintaining that the majority of philosophers have been (historically, at least) idealists but I think that it might be impossible to make the case for that statement when considering present day philosophers who, it seems, are mostly atheistic materialists. NB: I have not yet watched this video posted here but I will get around to it.
I do not make any clear distinction between mind and God. God is what mind becomes when it has passed beyond the scale of our comprehension.

I'm about half an hour into the video now and I'm struggling to keep watching. Dennett is annoying in his arrogance and condescension but I'll return to it later and try again.
