An audio recording of a lecture by Michael Picard presented before the Gesellschaft für Philosophische Praxis, upon the invitation of Dr. Gerd Achenbach, founder and director of GPP (August 16, 2019). Delivered in German, it was entitled Bewusstsein und Realität: die Frage des Idealismus in der frühen indischen Philosophie (Consciousness and Reality: the Question of Idealism in the early Indian Philosophy). There were about 40 people in attendance, mostly from the circle of Dr. Achenbach. I owe thanks to Dr. Achenbach and his industrious assistant, Laura V. Adrian, who spent the three days prior to the talk translating my lecture and preparing me to deliver it in German.
