| | Realism's most important influences have been on fiction and the theater. | | | Since "pure" untexted music is not usually representational (with the controversial exception of "program" music), it cannot be said to be more or less realistic. | | | For one thing, "realism" is not a term strictly applicable to music. |

| | CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Nominalism, Realism, Conceptualism |
| | The real is not, as Plato says, some vague entity of which the sensible world is only the shadow; it dwells in the midst of the sensible world. | | | And as the sensible world contains only the contingent, the particular, the unstable, it follows that the real exists outside and above the sensible world. | | | 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. |

| | They voiced the inevitable revolt, a demand for greater liberty on the part of the new generation, cramped within the narrow limits and arbitrary boundaries of the "Idealists", who had made a literary fetish of Manzoni, and whose main champion at this time was Cavalotti. | | | 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. | | | They were at this time a group of young and ardent spirits who had rallied to the defense of Postuma, literary revolutionists who affected an independent realism both in form and content. |

| | Objectivity in presentation becomes increasingly important: overt authorial comments or intrusions diminish as the century progresses. | | | Characters appear in their real complexity of temperament and motive; they are in explicable relation to nature, to each other, to their social class, to their own past. | | | 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. |

| | Miller (1971) is an exemplary attempt at "genuine mimesis," arguably more so than the improvisations of Cassavettes, whose realism is a spontaneity that shares with Antonin Artaud an attempt to substitute a mode of performance for genre. | | | To overthrow the dictatorship of realism, we must expunge the overregulated binaries that position it against fantasy, and admit that realism is itself the fantasy par excellence. | | | Even horror films about intergalactic oysters must be credibly performed and fertilized with characterological psychology lest they risk derision, and science fiction will mouth its technobabble to impress upon us that it is a theoretical "science" explicable in objective, if generic, language. |

| | 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. | | | This particular dispute over realism is largely moot in contemporary philosophy, and has been for centuries. |

| | 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. | | | Realism denotes two distinct sets of philosophical theories, one regarding the nature of universal concepts and the other dealing with knowledge of objects in the world. | | | The most straightforward of such theories is usually known as naive realism. |

| | 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. | | | The distinction lies in the fact that realism is concerned directly with what is absorbed by the senses; naturalism, a term more properly applied to literature, attempts to apply scientific theories to art. | | | Realism (art and literature), in art and literature, an attempt to describe human behavior and surroundings or to represent figures and objects exactly as they act or appear in life. |
