| | Philosophical realism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | This particular dispute over realism is largely moot in contemporary philosophy, and has been for centuries. | | | Nominalism holds that universals do not "exist" at all; they are no more than words we use to describe specific objects, they do not name anything. | | | The oldest use of the term comes from Medieval interpretations of Greek philosophy. |

| | SIX PRINCIPLES OF POLITICAL REALISM |
| | Real man is a composite of "economic man," "political man," "moral man," "religious man," etc. A man who was nothing but "political man" would be a beast, for he would be completely lacking in moral restraints. | | | Political realism refuses to identify the moral aspirations of a particular nation with the moral laws that govern the universe. | | | Power covers the domination of man by man, both when it is disciplined by moral ends and controlled by constitutional safeguards, as in Western democracies, and when it is that untamed and barbaric force which finds its laws in nothing but its own strength and its sole justification in its aggrandizement. |

| | CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Nominalism, Realism, Conceptualism |
| | A modern form of Platonic or Exaggerated Realism is found in the ontologist doctrine defended by certain Catholic philosophers in the middle of the nineteenth century, and which consist in identifying the objects of universal ideas with the Divine ideas or the archetypes on which the world was fashioned. | | | Ontologism, which is akin to Platonic Realism, arbitrarily identifies the ideal types in our intellect, which come to us from the sensible world by means of abstraction, with the ideal types consubstantial with the essence of God. | | | Exaggerated Realism invents a world of reality corresponding exactly to the attributes of the world of thought. |

| | Realism |
| | In late - classical and medieval philosophy, realism was a development of the Platonic theory of Forms and held, generally, that universals such as "red" or "man" have an independent, objective existence, either in a realm of their own or in the mind of God. | | | Because God is the greatest of beings, Anselm reasoned in his Proslogion, he must exist in reality as well as in thought, for if he existed in thought only, a greater being could be conceived of. | | | Realism had a great effect on the "natural theology" of medieval scholasticism. |

| | Marxism is philosophically speaking a realism, but it does not follow from this that its aesthetics have to be realist too, either in the Lukácsian or the representational sense of the word. | | | For Auerbach as for Mikhail Bakhtin, who was writing his classic work on Rabelais and realism at much the same time that Auerbach was holed up almost bereft of books in Istanbul, realism is in the broadest sense a matter of the vernacular. | | | The acme of world realism arrives with the Divine Comedy, whose elevated style can integrate the vulgar, humdrum, grotesque and repulsive in a language which Auerbach, a Dante scholar of great distinction, regards as 'a well-nigh incomprehensible miracle'. |

| | One of the first appearances of the term realism was in the Mercure francais du XIX siecle in 1826, in which the word is used to describe a doctrine based not upon imitating past artistic achievements but upon the truthful and accurate depiction of the models that nature and contemporary life offer the artist. | | | The works of the 18th-century English novelists Daniel Defoe, Henry Fielding, and Tobias Smollett may also be called realistic. | | | All these developments stimulated interest in accurately recording contemporary life and society. |

| | It is quite inadequate to say that reality is the quality of being real or that realism is a faithful portrayal of reality [4.5]. | | | The difference between the reality of matter and the reality of thoughts is not usually taken into account. | | | If nature does not even have the quality of being, and if it is the observer's knowledge that precipitates that being, the universe did not exist before life began on earth, as suggested by Davies [4.4]. |

| | Arguably political realism supports Hobbes's view of the state of nature, namely that the relations between self-seeking political entities are necessarily a-moral. | | | But if morality is employed in the sense of being altruistic, or at least universalistic, then political realists would rightly admit that attempting to be moral will be detrimental to the national interest or for the world as a whole, and therefore morality ought to be ignored. | | | Political realism is a theory of political philosophy that attempts to explain, model, and prescribe political relations. |

| | Henri Becque (1837-1899) most nearly captured the essence of naturalism in two of his plays, The Vultures (1882) and La Parisienne (1885), both of which it dealt with sordid subjects, were pessimistic and cynical, had no obvious climaxes, had no sympathetic characters, and progressed slowly to the end. | | | He claimed that he wrote comedies; others think they are sad and tragic. | | | Again, his realism has affected other Playwrights, as did his symbolic meanings in the texts of his plays and in the titles of his plays. |

| | Corporate filmmaking ensnares the masses in a ritualized, Durkheimian trance — they believe they worship the insightful reality of film, but in fact their senses are pointed inward, praising only their ability to perceive received ideas and reach a social consensus about the realities they receive. | | | Critics think audiences, comfortably reclining in the corruption of the cinema seat, need actors to safely mourn and rationalize for them, as if their catharses accumulated mathematically instead of diminishing upon each return. | | | As institutionalized censorship defines real experience by what it disallows, we assume the unseeable must be more real that our own perceptions, holding secret truths known only to higher powers. |

| | THE literature of Italy of the nineteenth century, like that of all literary countries of the same period, exhibits the two strains of realism, -- one the attempt to produce the effect of actual life, the other the attempt to reproduce that actuality of life itself, sometimes distinguished as realism and naturalism. | | | Realism rejected the heroics and the sentimentality of the Romanticists. | | | Realism did not by any means begin its life as a bantling flung naked on the rocks; as a matter of fact it inherited a rather comfortable property from its predecessor, the Romanticism which took its rise about 1825, and which went through its several phases within the fifty years following that date. |
