What is the concept of realism?

Answer 1

There are painters and graphic artists who work hard to render scenes in a photographic manner. In the 1850's a school of artists in France called themselves Realists. They probably started as a result of the then-new medium of Photography. Some of their paintings are so photographically realistic you feel that you could reach in and touch something. An outstanding example is a famous painting called After The Hunt by the American artist William M. Harnett. He worked in a style called "trompe l'oeil" (French for "fool the eye"). You can see low resolution examples of some of his best known works at the Related Link below.

Answer 2

Concept:

This is the view that the only reality is the ideal world. A well known exponent of this view was Plato, a philosopher in ancient Greece (428-347 B.C.). Plato believed that the physical world around us is not real; it is constantly changing and thus you can never say what it really is. There is a world of ideas which is a world of unchanging and absolute truth. This is reality for Plato. Does such a world exist independent of human minds? Plato thought it did, and whenever we grasp an idea, or see something with our mind's eye, we are using our mind to conceive of something in the ideal world. There are a number of proofs of this ideal world. The concept of geometry, such as the concept of a circle, which is a line equidistant from a point, is something which does not exist in the physical world. All physical circles, such as wheels, drawings, etc. are not perfectly round. Yet our mind has the concept of a perfect circle. Since this concept could not come from the physical world, it must come from an ideal world. Another proof is that from moral perfection. We can conceive of a morally perfect person, even though the people we know around us are not morally perfect. So where does someone get this idea of moral perfection? Since it could not have been obtained from the world around us, it must have come from an ideal world. Platonism has been an extremely influential philosophy down through the centuries.
