Moderate realism is a position in the debate on the metaphysics of universal metaphysics universals which holds that there is no realm in which universals exist against platonism , nor do they really exist within the individuals as universals , but rather universals really exist within the particulars as individualised , and multiplied.

Entity realism is a philosophical position within the debate about scientific realism . Whereas traditional scientific realism argues that our best scientific theories are true, or approximately true, or closer to the truth than their predecessors, entity realism does not commit itself to judgments concerning the truth of scientific theories. Instead, entity realism claims that the theoretical entity entities that feature in scientific theory theories , e.g. electron s , should be regarded as real if and only if they refer to phenomena that can be routinely used to create effects in domains that can be investigated independently. Manipulative success thus becomes the criterion by which to judge the reality of typically unobservable scientific entities. As Ian Hacking , the main proponent of this formulation of entity realism, puts it referring to an experiment he observed in a Stanford laboratory, where electrons and positrons were sprayed, one after the other, onto a superconductor superconducting metal sphere , if you can spray them, then they are real. ref Hacking, I Representing and Intervening , page 24. Cambridge University Press, 1983. ref Entity realism has been an influential position partly because it coincided with a general trend in philosophy of science, and science studies more generally, to downplay the role of theories and put more emphasis on experiment ation and scientific practice. Thus, entity realism sometimes is also called instrumental realism or experimental realism ref Resnik, D Hacking s Experimental Realism , Canadian Journal of Philosophy Vol. 24 1994 395 412. ref . While many philosophers acknowledge the intuitive pull of entity realism, it has also been strongly some would say conclusively criticised, both as being too restrictive in that it ignores entities that are observable yet do not lend themselves to manipulation ref Shapere, D Astronomy .... 17 2003 245 263. ref .

Refimprove date April 2009 Transcendental realism is a concept stemming from the philosophy of Immanuel Kant that implies individuals have a perfect understanding of the limitations of their own minds. Kantian roots Transcendental realism arguably has its roots in the philosophy of Immanuel Kant and refers to a form of transcendentalism that permits the subject to be fully cognizant of all limitations of their mind, and adjust their cognition accordingly as one seeks to understand the noumenon or the world as it actually exists things in themselves . In this way, the subject is able to know the world of things in themselves, and, presumably, is able to scientifically test such noumena. It is important to note that Kant was himself not a transcendental realist, but rather a transcendental idealism transcendental idealist .

Contemporary realism is a term used in its narrowest sense to denote an North America n style of painting which came into existence c. 1960s and early 1970s. Artists such as Philip Pearlstein , Ken Danby and Neil Wellilver are in the movement. The movement is generally depicted in figurative art works created in a natural yet highly objective style, without many interpretations of former movements. Some Contemporary Realists made a point to reject abstract art, depicting natural subject matter in a straight forward manner however some embraced the use of Abstraction as well such as Christian Cardell Corbet. Today the term Contemporary Realism encompasses all post 1970 sculptors and painters whose discipline is representational art, where the object is to portray the real and not the ideal . Many Contemporary Realists actually began as trained abstract painters, having come through an educational system dominated by an professors and theorists dismissive of representational painting. It is different from Photorealism, somewhat exaggerated and conceptual in its nature. Many of the practicing abstract artists revived the older Greek movement of Classical Realism. By applying an up to date twist on this classic Greek movement, artist like Peter Hunt 1908 1984 and Andrew Wyeth 1917 helped to establish what has become known as Contemporary Realism.

In international relations , defensive realism is a variant of political realism . Defensive realism looks at states as rational players who are the primary actors in world affairs. Defensive realism predicts that anarchy on the world stage causes states to become obsessed with security. This results in security dilemma s wherein one state s drive to increase its security can, because security is zero sum game zero sum , result in greater instability as that state s opponent s respond to their resulting reductions in security. Among defensive realism s most prominent theories is that of offense defensive theory which states that there is an inherent balance in technology, geography, and doctrine that favors either the attacker or defender in battle. Offense Defense theory tries to explain the Great War First World War as a situation in which all sides believed the balance favored the offense but were mistaken. Defensive structural realists break with the other main branch of structural realism, offensive realism , over whether or not states must always be maximizing relative power ahead of all other objectives. While the offensive realist believes this to be the case, some defensive realists believe that the offense defense balance can favor the defender, creating the possibility that a state may achieve security. ref See Charles Glaser and Chaim Kaufmann, What is the Offense Defense Balance?
