2. VERSUS COMPARE
a. In Realistic metaphysics, the thinker (subject) and the thing–thought–of (object) are taken to exist simulataneously and indepen dently. Both the thinker, the subject, i.e., the ‘I’, and the object, the things of the world, are taken to exist independen tly and on their own strength. The existence of the objects do not depend on the subject.
Idealistic metaphysics starts with the examining the question of existence by first taking up and proving the existence of the ‘I’, the subject. This is seen in the famous Cartesian dictum: I think, therefore I am. The existence of every other thing is then taken up from the viewpoint of this ‘I’, their existence is secondary to the ‘I’ and their reality or not depends on the ‘I’.
b. epistemological realism is the idea that observable characteristics exist in the observed object, independent of the observer. Likewise epistemological idealism is the idea that the characteristics exist in the mind of the observer independent of the object. example of "If a tree falls in a forest does it make a sound?" Someone who is a strict epistemological idealist will say, no, because no one is there to observe the tree falling to interpret what happened as making a sound and thus it cannot create a "sound". But someone who is a strict epistemological realist will say, yes, because sound is just pressure waves in the air and there does not have to be an observer in order to make a "sound".
