No matter. Never mind.

"Realism: Reality exists outside and independent of mind;

Idealism: Reality consists exclusively of mind and its contents.

Notice that materialism entails realism but goes beyond it: it postulates not only that matter exists outside mind, but that mind itself is generated by matter. For the remainder of this section I will, thus, discuss materialism, for it is the more specific term."
