The Earth, universe, and us were created by God to bring Him glory and declare His majesty. Our universe was designed by a good God, and His creation was very good. All things were created through Him and for Him to bring Him praise.

# data[].attributes.body
God is real, present, reachable, and all knowing. Our lives have been designed for His glory, even when they are hard or “unfair.” God has a perfect plan for everything designed to ultimately praise His name. He has been apparent before time was created, the First and Last, Alpha and Omega, Beginning and End.

# data[].attributes.body
As humans, we are created in the image of our Father and Creator. We were created as good and beautiful. Humans are God’s children, and we should live in that truth. We have been gifted the stewardship of the Earth and are called to take care of it.

# data[].attributes.body
Our reality is living in a broken, dark world. Hurt is everywhere, and people are looking for relief in any way whether they indulge in their sins or try to live a “good” life. We are in dire need of a Savior and forgiveness.

# data[].attributes.body
Idealism stresses ideas, thoughts, minds, or selves over material items, objects, and forces. Mind over matter is a concept idealism holds to. Continually revaluating when discovering more layers to reality and truth through our senses.

# data[].attributes.body
Truth is objective because the only true Truth is from God. When the world looks at our believes, they think our Truth is subjective and based on our opinion. In the eyes of a nonbeliever, they are going to doubt and judge our Truth because theirs is built on the foundation of themselves. The basis of truth is independent of human experience, but humans do not know truth until experience.

# data[].attributes.body
Jesus is “the Way, the Truth, and the Life,” no one can truly know truth unless it comes from the Father. Truth comes from God and the Living Word of God. God is perfect, so His Word is perfect and holy. No one can add to it because truth comes from God alone.

# data[].attributes.body
The knowledge we hold fast to is “God-breathed” and inspired by God. The Bible was written by a variety of authors, but all were led by the Spirit to communicate God’s Word to His people. The Word is God. God is true, holy, and without flaw, which means the Word is too. Nothing can be added or taken away from it because it is God’s Holy Word.

# data[].attributes.body
As Christians, our morals and values come from the Bible, which guide us to serve those around us and live a life dedicated to Christ. The world will have different believes and think of Christians as rule followers and weird, but we are called to a higher standard. We are to love because our love is what will separate us from nonbelievers.

# data[].attributes.body
God created the world and everything in it, and it was very good. His creation declares His praise. Beauty is from God, and we, as His creation, are designed to enjoy it and experience the beauty God has created. God is a beautiful and magnificent God with creation that reflects and displays His beauty. Beauty shines God’s glory.

# data[].attributes.body
God is an "If" factor for the idealist. Idealism can go hand in hand with Christianity when some Idealists believe in an ultimate reality controlled and fully known by the Absolute Self (God). While other Idealists think of an Absolute Self as a "what if" rather than a known truth because the Absolute Self is a concept beyond matter and fully reliant on belief and ideas.

# data[].attributes.body
Humans are in a constant search for reality and knowledge, continuing to unlock the universal Truths available. Individuals continue to use their minds to form ideas and understand the concepts of the world. Human minds are treasured.

# data[].attributes.body
There is always more to discover about our perceptions until we are able to witness the ultimate reality and gain a fuller picture. Only beyond our senses is there a real world full of pure ideas. "The world of the apparent" comes from the knowledge individuals receive from the sense, and "the world of reality" stems from our mind.

# data[].attributes.body
Truth comes from ideas that are inherent and independent of personal experiences. Their ideas need to be consistent and coherent. Knowledge is gained not empirical. "Truth is perfect and eternal," according to the renowned philosopher Plato.

# data[].attributes.body
Ideas are what truth stems from. It is in the name "Idea"lism. The concept behind truth is that there is an unchanging universal Truth in every realm of life. Grasping ideas and comprehending the idea is how someone is able to know truth.

# data[].attributes.body
The validity of Idealism is founded in the universal truths that are found in life, like in academics mathematics consistently gets the same answers. Truth is consistent and needs to be discovered through mentally understanding ideas.

# data[].attributes.body
Ethics form from the products of the mind, ideas, thoughts, and selves. The standards should be coming from eternal principles that are in harmony with the universe. If Idealists believe in God, then they believe the Absolute Self guides ideals and ethics, while non-believing Idealists find the reason behind their ethics as a way to find harmony with the universe.

# data[].attributes.body
Art attempting to capture the concepts of ultimate reality and the universe is considered beautiful. The core of art should be to capture the perfect reality. "Art from the idealist's point of view can be thought of as the idealization of sensory perceptions." - Knight

# data[].attributes.body
The universe has been around. From the start, the universe has been in a constant production of the giant machine all matter has been a part of.

# data[].attributes.body
The idea of God can exist but until someone experiences God in a tangible way and can truly experience His form or matter, God remains an idea rather than matter.

# data[].attributes.body
Individuals are designed to be a part of the universe's giant machine. The laws in charge of the universe is what governs the humans too. Humans are a small part of the giant working product of the universe. Individuals are simply another object fitting into the system participating and learning about it.

# data[].attributes.body
Individuals do not live in the realm of mind, rather the universe is composed of matter in motion. The physical world humans live in is their reality. There is no greater reality outside of what a realist knows through their studying of the world and sensory perception.

# data[].attributes.body
Matter is independent of the mind. The core of realism is the concept of matter over mind which means understanding the world and its reality by studying the material and objects in it. Truth is an observable fact waiting to be discovered.

# data[].attributes.body
Truth comes from the sensory perception of objects, matter, and the universe. What does not come from sensory experience, comes from observable fact. If something cannot be proven through studies, experiments, or physical proof, then it is not truth.

# data[].attributes.body
The validity of truth comes from observable fact. Through studying matter, experiments, and experience, individuals are able to navigate what is true or false based on the knowledge they discover.

# data[].attributes.body
Realists find their ethics through the nature of the law. Values are determined through observation. Learning the natural order of nature, to comprehend the values and ethics that need to be applied to individuals. Each individual is needing to follow the nature law and understand how to fit into the giant machine.

# data[].attributes.body
Nature is beauty. What comes from nature is the goal of beauty and art. Creative art can be considered beautiful if it is recreating or representing the essence of nature through "pattern, balance, line, texture, and form."

# data[].attributes.body
The universe is the result of some type of cause. Some Neo-Scholastics believe it is the result of an Ultimate Maker. The universe is what can be fully understood and reasoned. The universe is permanent and unchanging.

# data[].attributes.body
If there is an order to the universe and reality, then humans have no way of knowing about it. Humans cannot know without experiencing and reflecting on it. There is no constant order stemming from the universe because there are constant changes and development.

# data[].attributes.body
The universe and how it came to be is based on what the individual thinks. Some may think it came from the Big Bang, while other claim it was created by God. Others can assume it has always been here, and no idea is wrong because it is the individuals.

# data[].attributes.body
There is no objective approach to understanding the universe, so individuals are unable to know it. Everyone taints an objective view because they bring in their personal experiences to it. The universe cannot be objectively known, so the origin and order are simply unknown.

# data[].attributes.body
The design and order coming from the world points back to some type of "First Cause or an Unmoved Mover." "God is pure reason." There is always a cause to every result, so the universe's cause is a Creator/Developer.

# data[].attributes.body
God is not a possibility in the mind of a Pragmatic because they cannot fully know and comprehend God through experience. Since they cannot fully experience God, there is no faith aspect because there is no need to go past what you experience.

# data[].attributes.body
Potentially the concept of God can be a part of an Existentialist, but it truly depends on each individual's thoughts and choices. Some Existentialists can believe in God because that was their choice, while others can completely deny God and that is their choice.

# data[].attributes.body
There is no truth, but simply opinions. The concept of God then becomes an opinion rather than an Absolute Truth. God can be real in someone's mind, but their opinion cannot be forced on someone else.

# data[].attributes.body
Humans are the rational beings attempting to fully understand and logically comprehend the world and universe around them. The design of humans is to exist to reason and confirm their beliefs.

# data[].attributes.body
Humans are simply designed to experience and live through what they have discovered. There is no feasible way to understand things that are beyond experience.

# data[].attributes.body
Humans are in charge of their fate, truth, reality, and everything. They determine their path. The individual is the most important aspect of their life. Each person chooses who they are (their essence).

# data[].attributes.body
Reject the metaphysical scheme to ensure that an individual is active in human problems. Humans should be concerned about social issues and actively trying to solve and prevent them.

# data[].attributes.body
There are two sides of Neo-Scholasticism, the natural aspect and spiritual side. The natural aspect is the reality that can be fully understood through reason and testing. The spiritual side is based more on theology and intuition, a level of faith has to be applied to the logical reasoning, since the spiritual side is not fully comprehendible.

# data[].attributes.body
Reality is in a constant change because human experience changes. The concept of reality is being a transactional experience that continually morphs and changes.

# data[].attributes.body
Reality is different for everyone because it is based on the individual. Whatever the individual decides and proceeds is their reality. Existing is the individual's reality.

# data[].attributes.body
The reality of a Postmodernist's life is the world has social dilemmas, issues, economic concerns, and class struggles. Reason and science did not lead to a perfect utopia, so as a "philosophy," Postmodernists are taking a step away from it. All people have are their writings and texts on reality rather than an understanding of reality.

# data[].attributes.body
Rational thought and human reason determine truth. If an individual can logically prove an existing truth through theology, reason, testing, and intuition, then it must be true.

# data[].attributes.body
Truth comes from experience. What is true is what works. Testing solutions and determining if they are accurate and productive. If they do not bring productivity or work out, then a new solution/truth needs to be presented. Ideas are encouraged as long as they are tested through experience.

# data[].attributes.body
Truth is a choice. The individual is the focus of truth. Whatever an individual thinks is truth. The only wrong is not making a choice.

# data[].attributes.body
There is no absolute truth because the "philosophy" rejects any sort of definition and meaning. Truth is dead, so it falls on the individual to define their own world. There are no truths, but rather opinions.

# data[].attributes.body
Truth lies in the realm of science and empirical experience, but some truth can come from supernatural revelation. Either if it can be reasoned and proven to be true or if an individual has received a revelation, determines if something is true or not.

# data[].attributes.body
Truth comes from experiences that determines if that truth can withheld the testing and results in a beneficial way. Testing and experiencing the results of an idea determines if it is truth or not.

# data[].attributes.body
First comes the individual, then comes the ideas and truth. All truth comes from each individual.

# data[].attributes.body
The source comes from questioning the old ways of previous philosophies. Rejecting the old and looking for something else not in a unified worldview.

# data[].attributes.body
The logic and reason behind a truth determines if it makes sense and is comprehensible.

# data[].attributes.body
If testing confirms an idea or group experiences occur, then the truth is valid and logistical in the eyes of the pragmatic.

# data[].attributes.body
It does not have to be valid to everyone because if the individual believes it is true, then it is, for them.

# data[].attributes.body
If others agree with your thoughts and ideas, then you step into a more successful, powerful role. Knowledge should be reachable for everyone.

# data[].attributes.body
Reason is the pillar to ethics. If an individual is in harmony with reason, then they are in harmony with the universe. Humans have been determined as rational beings, so they are able to make rational decisions. The concept of "knowing" what is right and wrong.

# data[].attributes.body
Humanity is responsible for values. With the changes of the world and cultures, so does the foundation of values. They are in constant similar to the universe. The idea of someone of being good comes from social test and figuring out what works in interactions with others. The ethical tests are for the good of society not the individual, which is saying what works the individual may not work for the society.

# data[].attributes.body
Utter chaos comes from Existentialism ethics. Like truth, it is all individual, so whatever a person considers good and right is what goes. Individualistic and free from all others there is no wrong because there are no absolutes.

# data[].attributes.body
Individuals have their opinions and ways of living, but it is all for the good of society. Post-Modernists will live in a way that benefits the community and society over individual gain. Language is where they find power rather than economic gain.

# data[].attributes.body
Art is the "creative intuition" that lies within an individual. Art can be seen as the escape from reason. The reason behind art is to give meaning to matter.

# data[].attributes.body
Art is an experience. Aesthetics is determined by how it is received by others and whether or not they experience the aesthetic essence.

# data[].attributes.body
Whatever is beautiful to the individual. It can be considered a "revolt against the public standard." No one can make decisions for other individuals. What is beautiful to one person does not carry weight into another's view.

# data[].attributes.body
There is no structure to art. It matters what it means to the individual rather than the viewer. Art is designed to push against the norms and be authentically original.
