Define your terms. "Idealism", in particular, has been used and continues to be used for a whole range of view points. Do you mean:
- The view that reality is ultimately mental?
- The view that we should follow principles rather than pramatic goals?
- The view that our world is shaped by the prevailing view of it?
What is the central tenet of "materialism" you wish us to critique? Dialectical Materialism? Eighties Materialism?

Idealism blended with materialism tells the truth.

Materialism implies something that is tangable, whereas Idealism speaks of something that cannot be seen, heard or touched, only conceived by the mind. Therefore, one is more likely to obtain he or she's version of "truth", whatever that term may consist of to a specific person, through the concept of Materialism. But with this in mind, one could inevitably find there own truth, or their definition thereof, within any of these limitations of the mind. It all depends upon what you rationalize in your brain alone, not everyone elses.

Materials tell the truth about ideas, ideas will tell the truth about materials. Materials are ideas, ideas are our materials. So, they are both true in a way; in another way, your question is full of presupposed Bulls**t, but that's ok, people have been dishing out this kind of crap for centuries.

Materialism. All information is absorbed through the senses. Although our brains have natural processes for interpreting the data no information is gained innately.

Neither and both. Truth is where you find it. Haven't you watched Fox News lately?

I stumbled on your question surfing the philosophy section. . Your clarification of non-public recommendations related to "all of life and universe", I do discover thrilling and consider maximum of it. even with the undeniable fact that, i don't sense that that "materialism" and "naturalism" are one and an identical. They do share some traits - no longer all. You peaked my pastime in finding up extra motives of those 2 theories. employing purely those 2 motives limits us relatively, do no longer you think of? If one seems at valuable and adverse, working example, then "supernaturalism" could desire to be coated with "naturalism". enable's no longer neglect "spiritualism" interior the mixture of those. purely as with matter, there is likewise anti-matter to evaluate,additionally. In summation of my answer: I do agree "we thinking issues are in reality complicated and diffused" forms of life, and so is all of life and the universe as all of us comprehend it. there is purely lots we don't understand. it is why questions like yours are considerable in our seek for solutions to the "real state of life and the cosmos". solutions are accessible. thank you.
