Another interesting observation:

I believe Clark may have been an idealist, but he was also an "epistemological realist." He believed that knowledge consists of propositional truths and these truths define reality (idealism), but also these truths exist independently of human minds (epistemological realism). That is, two people can know A in the same sense because the proposition A exists independent of any one person. I suppose Clark was a metaphysical idealist and an epistemological realist.
