idealist
의미: A person who is guided by high principles and a vision of how things ought to be, sometimes at the expense of practicality. In philosophy, one who holds that reality is fundamentally mental or spiritual.
Idealist carries an ambivalent charge in British culture. It can be admiring — praising someone's moral vision — or gently dismissive, implying naivety and detachment from real-world constraints. Politicians often accuse opponents of being idealists while positioning themselves as pragmatists. In philosophical usage, idealism encompasses traditions from Plato to Hegel that prioritise mind over matter.
