reality. It is a world of objects and not ideas.

creation as dependent on ideas.
•According to the realist the universe does not
depend on ideas.
• For example, the Social realists of the 17th
century advocated a period of travel, a grand
tour, which would give real experience of the
varied aspects of life.
•Sense realists of the 18th century believed
that ‘senses are the gateways of all

literary and linguistic studies by scientific
studies of real things.
