I find the debate between realists and idealists very important. I think the mind independent/mind dependent world probelm is a pseudo-probelm. The solution, I think, is to replace the old carteisien model of sense data with a more probelm free vision of perception. I think representalism/sense data must be killed. But the alternative then would be direct realism which as common sense based as it is, faces many philosophical problems aswell as attacks from Quantum phyiscs. A second solution which may eliminate the problem is ending the division between subject and object. Heidegger was the first to try, but he simply repleced the human "subject" with Da-Sein. The conclusion of his magnum opus Sein und Zeit was just the traditional dualism of subject and object with newer, and more obscure terms. I think with a new view of perception and a genuine destruction of subject/object dualism (and a genuine replacment of this old dualism), problems like solliphism and idealism will be solved or shown to be pseudo-problems.
