Doeas Realism equal materialism ?

If one wanna be realistic one should take all emotions aside but with no emotions (any feelings) one is no different than inanimate and left with nothing but materials so realsim = materialism.

Nice Post Figgy - very philosphical.

However if one is casting aside emotions should one not be casting aside attachments even to material possesions, save on the basis of utility for one's needs to live?

I must admit I do not think a world peopled by Spock like beings would be a pleasant place.

A realist is one who recognizes that normal human beings have emotions. Expecting from humans not to have emotions is not realistic. Materialism is also something related to emotions. :?
