. I like Kastrup
Bernardo kastrup is the mastermind behind analytic idealism in its modern form, his book fully outlining it will be coming out soon. It is titled 'analytic idealism in a nutshell' and will be out around 25th October.
I've read his other book "why materialism is baloney" and it was really good.
I'll just give you my best summary of analytical idealism and see if it sounds like what you believe.
Reality is fundamentally 'made of' mind, like how if you have a dream, everything in that dream is 'made of your mind'
Not everything is conscious, things like rocks are 'made of mind' but they are not first person perspectives.
Because everything is made of the same mind, all first person perspectives are that universal mind having different perspectives of itself. Like you and I are both the same mind, exploring itself from different points.
u/dankchristianmemer6 might find this interesting, a possible alternative to panpsychism?

Sadly, I haven't finished reading it yet but the part I did read was good.

That word "mind" is key here because at what point does the separation became apparent? If we are in fact all ontologically the same, at which point does the separation yield the different perspectives?
