World Philosophies
Idealism believes that the world of mind, ideas and
reasons are primary. Mind over matter.
Realism feels that the universe exists whether the mind
perceives it or not. Reality for them is composed of matter
(BODY) and form (MIND).
Pragmatism values experience through experimentation,
especially testing if a certain technique works. For them,
reality is relative and considered an event whose meaning
depends to how they experience it.
