Abstract
Man has long sought to see reality and find the truth. The question “what is reality or truth?” has caused a lot of humanitarian efforts and has created many philosophical paths in various fields, including education. Questions such as “What is realism?”, “What is Idealism?”, “How are they related?”, and “What is the truth about this relation?” are questions that people ask themselves about any incredible and challenging conditions faced with. These conditions or circumstances are not consistent with his desires , and sometimes in contrast with each other. This situation is currently evident in the field of religious education in the country and has brought about changes and, most recently, fundamental developments in this area. In this article, through the method of philosophical analysis, we have tried to explain different approaches to the relationship between reality and idealism. The author believes that the realistic idealism approach has such kind of characteristics that can be appropriate for religious education in the current state of the country and to some extent can reduce the gap between reality and idealism.
