    Materialism. and idealism are both philosophical views, and one characteristic of philosophical views is dialectic, the so-called dialectic is that the same thing will have two sides, one positive and one negative. Since materialism and idealism are dialectical beings in themselves, it is natural that they exist in this world at the same time.

    The materialist philosophical outlook is Marx.

    and the philosophical outlook put forward by Engels, which is also the main theme of today. The core theory of materialism is that matter is not subject to human will, it exists objectively. Before the advent of materialism, there was no theory in the world that could support the ideological understanding of the entire human race.

    Until materialism and communism.

    It is only when people emerge that they gradually become aware of the nature of matter.

    Idealism is the opposite of materialism, materialism stresses objective facts, while idealism is a blind eye.

    Here's an example. For example, there is an elevator at the door, idealism believes that this elevator should exist here, while materialism believes that there are buildings and people who have elevators.

    Although idealism is very subjective, there are cases in the world that exist in themselves as individual cases, and if we look at them according to the theory of materialism, then these individual cases cannot be explained at all. Materialism says that success depends on hard work, but some people do not succeed even if they work hard, but there are some people who do not work hard but succeed.

    This kind of person is a combination of good luck and luck, and his existence has gone beyond the fact that things exist objectively as proposed by materialism. How can such existence be explained by materialism?

    It is easy to explain from an idealist point of view, that such a person is a god-like being. He has God-given talent and luck, and at the same time has caught up with good times and opportunities. I believe that everyone has met such people around them, they are from an average background, and they do not have unique characteristics, but they have good opportunities, are lucky enough, and do everything smoothly.

    The world is colorful, inclusive, inevitable and contingent, common and individual, and even diametrically opposed philosophies can coexist.

    Materialism and idealism are indispensable, and when the economy is prosperous, human beings will pursue peace of mind; When food and clothing cannot be satisfied, human beings will also pursue more material needs.

    Materialism and idealism both have their own theoretical truths, and the reason why we feel that materialism is correct is because we have existed in a materialist educational environment for a long time, and both theories can start from their own theoretical systems to explain the world and explain the truth in the world.

    "Existence is reasonable" belongs to idealism. Being is rational is the theory of objective idealism, from the preface to Hegel's Principles of the Philosophy of Law. Meaning:

    The origin of the universe is the Absolute Spirit, which has everything in its own right, then externalizes the natural world, human society, spiritual science, and finally returns to itself on a higher level.

    Difference Between Idealism and Materialism:

    I think that the origin of the world is different. Materialism acknowledges that the essence of the world is matter, that there is matter first and then consciousness in the world, that matter determines consciousness, and that consciousness is a reflection of matter. Contrary to materialism, the fundamental view of idealism is that the essence of the world is consciousness, and that it is not matter that determines consciousness, but consciousness that determines matter.

    The representative people are different, materialist celebrities include Marx and Engels, etc., and idealistic celebrities include Mozi, Aristotle and Hegel. The main representatives of idealism include Lu Jiuyuan and Wang Shouren in China, Berkeley in England and Fichte in Germany.

    The opposition between materialism and idealism is manifested in whether or not to recognize the materiality of the world. The criterion for dividing materialism and idealism is the question of what is the origin of the world, that is, the question of the unity of the world.

    Difference Between Materialism and Idealism:

    1. The meaning is different.

    Materialism acknowledges that the world is knowable, but denies the existence of an all-knowing One (God). Materialism recognizes that the above argument contains contradictions, but does not try to resolve this contradiction, but admits it, believing that everything contains contradictions, and the more contradictions there are, the more real they are.

    The basic meaning of idealism is that on the basic philosophical issue of the relationship between thinking and existence, spirit and matter, it is believed that spirit (consciousness) is the first nature, matter is second, spirit determines matter, and matter is the product of spirit.

    2. Different forms of expression.

    There are two manifestations of materialism, monism and dualism. Monist materialism recognizes only one primordial principle of matter, which is also called mechanical materialism. Dualist materialism recognizes the two primordial principles of matter and motion, also known as dialectical materialism.

    There are two basic manifestations of idealism: objective idealism and subjective idealism. Objective idealism holds that there exists an objective spirit independently of the real world, which is the origin of the world, and from which everything in the world is produced (derived).

    3. The representatives are different.

    Materialist celebrities include Marx and Engels, and idealistic celebrities include Mozi, Aristotle and Hegel.

    The main representatives of idealism include Lu Jiuyuan and Wang Shouren in China, Berkeley in Britain and Fichte in Germany.

    Common denominator: both belong to monism, that is, the belief that only one of matter and spirit can be primordial, and the other must be derived; They are the antithesis of dualism.

    2.Both materialism and outright idealism adhere to agnosticism, which is opposed to agnosticism.

    Materialism and idealism are two polar opposites. Materialism holds that matter determines everything and denies the role of consciousness. Psychic theory holds that consciousness determines everything and denies the role of matter.

    Some of everything is naturally formed, some are created by man, and some are created by man and nature. In the process of understanding the world and transforming the world, we can neither materialize nor idealize.

    The proposition that matter is the first nature and consciousness is the second nature is a partial generalization. Because only the human brain in the world can produce consciousness, and no other matter can produce consciousness.

    "Materialism" and "idealism" are false concepts compiled by Chinese scholars and do not actually exist at all. There have always been two major schools of thought in the history of philosophy: theism and atheism. God refers to God, immortals, and souls.

    The heart refers to the human mind. It is an absurd and ridiculous mistake to describe atheism as materialism and theism as Qingliangyu idealism.

    Idealists may have a completely different view of fertility from materialists, who may have children from the standpoint of human reproduction, while idealists are based entirely on personal perspectives. But both may have a child because of "impulse".

    A staunch materialist would believe that people die with no soul after death, so they are more likely to make these acts of body donation. But based on the same ontological position, the materialist is more likely to be a "determined" worldly hedonist, celibate, cynic, because "the afterlife cannot be awaited, and heaven cannot be sought."

    Idealists who, if they reach the extreme level of solipsism, become radical individualism, and although they may likewise enjoy real pleasures, their position is based on the absolute freedom of the individual. Based on belief in God or the afterlife, etc.

    In a word, firm materialists and idealists are rare in reality, and firm materialists are even rarer. Most people are skeptics, vulgar utilitarians, or ignorant drifters.
