Realism in philosophy emphasizes the existence of an objective reality that exists independently of our perceptions or beliefs. Idealism, on the other hand, posits that reality is fundamentally shaped by our thoughts, ideas, and perceptions. In essence, realism focuses on the external world as it is, while idealism emphasizes the role of the mind in constructing reality.
Idealism in philosophy is the belief that reality is shaped by our thoughts and perceptions, emphasizing the importance of ideas and consciousness. Realism, on the other hand, asserts that reality exists independently of our thoughts and perceptions, focusing on the objective existence of the external world.
One influential proponent of idealism was the philosopher George Berkeley, who argued that all existence is dependent on perception. Another major figure in idealism was Immanuel Kant, who believed that the mind structures our experiences of reality.
Rene Descartes is often considered the father of modern philosophy. His work on methodical doubt and skepticism laid the foundation for modern philosophy's focus on individualism and the mind-body problem.
From what I understand, Plato is considered the father of political philosophy.
Idealism
Absolute idealism is the philosophy which affirms that fundamental reality is an all-embracing spiritual unity.
