SYMBOLISM/IDEALIST THEORY
The most important difference in the factors between materialist/realist and symbolism/idealist theories is direct experience as it relates to direct knowledge.
Experiences are concrete evidences of the external world through the use of the world as it is today. What someone experiences is tangible, definable and explainable therefore gives strength to the materialist/realist theory (http://websyte.com/alan/symbolsm.htm).
In the symbolic area of life things including emotions, feelings, induced actions or beliefs are all components of symbolism which are not as tangible or definable as actual experiences can be.
An adequate account of human mentality requires an explanation of how we can know truly, how we can err, and how we can critically distinguish truth from error.

Symbolism is based in the more emotional and fluid experience while materialism/realists are proponents of experiences aside from any emotions that may be created within that experience.

theorists from the H100 block of ILE have provided valuable insights on warfare. They range from Clausewitz to Machiavelli to Moltke. Although 200 years have passed since the times of Antoine-Henri Jomini, his theories, principles, and insights are still being used in a twenty-first century warfare.
