“Idealism is the assertion that we have an absolute finite knowledge of the infinite whereas realism professes that the infinite is known to us only relatively and therefore must remain always a mystery to us”
— Immanuel Kant
Simplified Meaning:
Idealism means believing we can fully understand everything, even things that are endless. Realism means believing that we can only partly understand endless things, and they will always have some mystery.
