It is not non-material ideas and
conceptions that drive history, these can be illusions, it is men and
groups seeking to survive and reproduce successfully, and thereby
creating cultures, civil societies, ideas and conceptions.
Ideas that harmonize with this material evolutionary
worldview are the most realistic.
What has been considered “objective”
has often treated historical conditions independent of the actions
of material life and evolution. On the other hand, I don't think that the Americanized
modern French ideas that see no objective truth which now dominate academia---mainly influenced
by adapting German Nietzsche---will prevail.
We need not rule out religion or
even Godhood as other philosophies of materialism do, there is no
need to completely “pass from the realm of God to the realm of
man.” Life evolves in the material world to Godhood, if it can, and
this can define future ideas and conceptions in religion, philosophy,
and science. Real human nature along with altered circumstances of
living can bring this realism forward.
