I am a Philosopher and am proud am one. There are a group of scholars know as realist and they propagate Realism as a school of thought. It can be seen as the attitude or practice of accepting a situation as it is and being prepared to deal with it accordingly.
2. the quality or fact of representing a person, thing, or situation accurately or in a way that is true to life.
3. the doctrine that universals or abstract concepts have an objective or absolute existence. The theory that universals have their own reality is sometimes calledPlatonic realism because it was first outlined by Plato's doctrine of forms or ideas. Idealism is somewhat the opposite of the realism and is the practice of forming or pursuing ideals, esp. unrealistically.
2. any of various systems of thought in which the objects of knowledge are held to be in some way dependent on the activity of mind. Now, the question is where does a realist fit in the place of faith? Ponder about this till next time!
I will go for faith as it gives hope which gives value to human existence.
