The Idealist movement

The Idealist movement refers to philosophical perspectives and social movements that emphasize the importance of ideas, morals, and principles as guiding forces for human behavior and societal progress. Idealists believe that reality is fundamentally shaped by consciousness and values, advocating for ethical standards and transformative visions of a just, perfect society. This approach often contrasts with pragmatic or materialist views, focusing on what "should be" rather than solely what is. In history, idealism has influenced advancing human rights, education, and politics by promoting the pursuit of higher ideals and the belief that positive change is possible through motivation rooted in moral conviction.
