I’m new to this forum, so please forgive the intrusion. But I thought it necessary to point out that in either case, there are elements of both philosophies of realism and idealism on the part of each party. The right footed realist by virtue of considerable effort to maintain a standard of reality must have began his journey from the left foot of idealism. And by design of perfunctory faculties the idealist must have began his journey from the construct of a form of reality as a foundation for his ideals. Yes?
