 Concept of Idealism
and Realism
“Idealism contends that the material
and physical universe known to science
is an incomplete expression of reality,
that it exists but to sub-serve, and
requires to complement it a higher type
of reality, a spiritual universe.”
“In philosophy, idealism is the group
of metaphysical philosophies which
assert that reality, or reality as humans
can know it, is fundamentally mental,
mentally constructed, or otherwise
immaterial.”
The term realism comes from
the Latin word "realists" which
mean to be really real. Realism
is the philosophy that assume
that there is real external world
which can be recognized.
Realism is the materialistic
philosophy, which gives more
importance to material world
rather than to the spiritual
world.
