Every time you post I feel a little more ignorant of German philosophy and my reading list gets a little longer. If you ever publish a book exploring these kinds of threads, I would certainly buy it.
Great Heathens is already a strong framework for a book, and these intellectual genealogies and the philosophy-of-science stuff would make interesting threads within it.
I'm sure you already have more entries in mind and I don't know how much content there actually is here, but Cavafy and Alma-Tadema both strike me as having a more-than-superficial interest in the world they were depicting.
I don’t know why you keep trying to depict idealism as dualistic when almost no idealistic philosophers are dualist in nature, nor why you associate “pantheism” or monism with an extremely exclusive and particular subjective idealism.
Idealistic philosophy suggests that material or empirical phenomena are condensed instances of mind or spirit. Any philosophy suggesting otherwise runs into the interaction problems. Can you give me one example of any major western idealist theories that are ontologically “dualist”?
Your comment is ridiculous on practically every level but it's a non-starter to begin with because you're confusing Dilthey's conception with my own. If I wanted to categorize idealism I would've just called it that instead of creating an entirely different framework.
You have depicted as such several times in your works. Would not be hard to find this, or other examples of you suggesting that monistic axial age philosophies are dualistic.

I got that exact sense writing this, just an insane burst of human excellence in this period & place
Mayb book one day, I would certainly like to explore connection between science & pantheism/paganism/etc in more depth

Great Heathens would be very good… I’ve thought about compiling it into a book before
