5. Concept of Idealism
and Realism
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.
“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.”

Aristotle was the student
of Plato "The first
philosopher to develop
the systematic theory of
logic" . He asserted that
ideas can exist without
matter, but matter
cannot exist without
ideas
He argued that
knowledge can be
acquired through
senses because our
world is made of matter
rather than
ideas.
Idealism is derived form
Greek language ‘Ident’. Its
meaning is ‘To see’ which is
related to idea, ideal and
expressed it in ideology. At
the end it is written as
Idealism.
ORIGIN OF IDEALISM AND REALISM
Idealism is born out of
Plato’s “Theory of Ideas”. The
real word “Idealism” is made
from combining two words
“ideal” and “ism” but adding
the letter “l” for better
pronunciation.
