| | Magical Realism: Definitions |
 | | Magical realism, unlike the fantastic or the surreal, presumes that the individual requires a bond with the traditions and the faith of the community, that s/he is historically constructed and connected. | | | Magical realism manages to present a view of life that exudes a sense of energy and vitality in a world that promises not only joy, but a fair share of misery as well. | | | Magic realism--the capacity to enrich our idea of what is 'real' by incorporating all dimensions of the imagination, particularly as expressed in magic, myth and religion. |

| | CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Nominalism, Realism, Conceptualism |
| | In other words, the sole point in debate was the absolute reality of the universals: their truth, their relation to the understanding, was not in question. | | | As to Moderate Realism, it remains the doctrine of all those who have returned to Aristotleanism or adopted the neo-Scholastic philosophy. | | | The Nominalists, who should be called rather the anti-Realists, assert on the contrary that the individual alone exists, and that the universals are not things realized in the universal state in nature, or subsistentia. |

| | Realism |
| | Anselm's form of realism led him to the belief that by giving proper attention to universal concepts one could prove the truths of theology. | | | In its most general form realism asserts that objects in the external world exist independently of what is thought about them. | | | It stands in contrast to nominalism, which held that universals had no reality apart from their existence in the though of an individual. |

| | Sorites-Meaning Realism |
| | That was, for instance, the main point of Acero (1993) in his commentaries to Boghossian (1993)'s arguments against the compatibility of meaning realism with the Quinean rejection of the A/S distinction. | | | There is a difference between a meaning realism without determination and a meaning nihilism that denies the existence of meaning properties. | | | The problem is "Are they really pure explicit definition?" "Are, for instance, the usual explicit definitions of logic pure explicit definition?" I think that these questions lack any definite answer. |

| | Bright Lights Film Journal Bleeding Realism Dry (1) |
| | For all the worship of realism — that is, of artifice — there stands one thing beyond the actor's ability, one motion that can never convince us of its realism regardless of its sincerity: the gesture of death, which even film technology cannot perfect. | | | Just as religion censors whatever challenges doctrinal teaching, "realism" becomes little more than a series of censorship guidelines disallowing unconventionality or divergence from the cinematic rituals that currently define the perception of the real. | | | But as a lowest common denominator attempt to counter centuries of faith and metaphysical irrationalism, supposedly empiric, pseudo-positivistic realism has ironically emerged as the most institutionalized faith of all. |

| | Philosophical realism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | This can be called "realism about universals." Universals are terms or properties that can be applied to many things, rather than denoting a single specific individual--for example, red, beauty, five, or dog, as opposed to Socrates or Athens. | | | Conceptualism holds that they exist, but only insofar as they are instantiated in specific things; they do not exist separately. | | | 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 desire for contempt, I learned, is also the great interference with learning, because if a young person sees the world as hollow and meaningless, it is difficult for him or her to want to see meaning in words, numbers, facts of science, which come from that world, and take them in. | | | I’ve seen that this is an occupational hazard of a teacher, and I am proud that I can criticize it in myself. | | | That is what will happen everywhere when this beautiful, kind method is standard in classrooms across the nation. |

| | It believes also, then, in the possibility of distinguishing in politics between truth and opinion-between what is true objectively and rationally, supported by evidence and illuminated by reason, and what is only a subjective judgment, divorced from the facts as they are and informed by prejudice and wishful thinking. | | | That is to say, if I want to understand "religious man," I must for the time being abstract from the other aspects of human nature and deal with its religious aspect as if it were the only one. | | | That argument misunderstands the intention of this book, which is to present not an indiscriminate description of political reality, but a rational theory of international politics. |

| | Political Realism [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy] |
| | In the late nineteenth century it underwent a new incarnation in the form of social darwinism, whose adherents explained social and hence political growth in terms of a struggle in which only the fittest (strongest) cultures or polities would survive. | | | Assumptions can be tested against the evidence, but in themselves cannot be proved true or false. | | | The logical validity of the three resulting theories suggests that preferring one position to another is an arbitrary decision-i.e., an assumption to be held, or not. |

| | Legal Realism and the Social Contract by James Boyle |
| | The main axes along which Foster and Handy do battle, and along which Fuller's ambivalence about realism asserted itself were the tensions between fact and norm on the one hand and form and substance on the other. | | | To summarize a very complex issue very quickly, one could say that the conceptual tools of legal realism undermined faith in the public/private distinction, a faith that seemed a vital part of liberal political theory. | | | Was will theory really the corollary of a belief in private autonomy or was it merely a partial and figurative representation of that principle? |

| | The Early Realists |
| | 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. | | | Realism rejected the heroics and the sentimentality of the Romanticists. | | | In England and in Germany the same two schools or groups arose, and in Italy too, although the realists were in a large majority, there was a naturalistic school who called themselves Verists and who nourished their artistic youth upon the dicta of Emile Zola. |

| | Concerned with the faithful representation of life, which frequently lacks form, the realists tended to downplay plot in favor of character and to concentrate on middle-class life and preoccupations, avoiding larger, more dramatic issues. | | | The difference between realism and naturalism is harder to define, however, and the two terms are often used interchangeably. | | | Attempts at realism have been made periodically throughout history in all the arts; the term is, however, generally restricted to a movement that began in the mid-19th century, in reaction to the highly subjective approach of romanticism. |

| | Realism in American Literature |
| | Broadly defined as "the faithful representation of reality" or "verisimilitude," realism is a literary technique practiced by many schools of writing. | | | Realism sets itself at work to consider characters and events which are apparently the most ordinary and uninteresting, in order to extract from these their full value and true meaning. | | | Although strictly speaking, realism is a technique, it also denotes a particular kind of subject matter, especially the representation of middle-class life. |
