Idealism is more akin to Platonic thinking where a person talks of what nature thought to be and realism is more akin to Aristotelian thinking where a person talks of what nature is felt and seen to be.
Reality is about what truth is. Idealism and realism both could have a claim to reality. Of course, here I see idealism analogous to rationality and realism analogous to empiricity.

So how ‘real’ is your claim on reality that to make any claim on reality is to be blind to reality?How ‘fully’ empirically baked is your statement statement about invention of empiricity?’Realism’ istelf is an ideal. The point of the matter is that both need to co-exist and compliment each other, the ‘idealism’ and ‘realism’. Realism is about what one feels in ones senses, idealism is about what one intitutively precieves in ones innate nature.
