The Umbrella of Idealism To what extent should an individual embrace the principles of idealism? In “The Novice” by W.D. Valgardson‚ readers discover that it’s crucial to differentiate truth from an individual’s idealism. “The Novice” provides multiple examples of how one’s view of truth and idealism affects their ability to solve a problem‚ resulting in confusion and misjudgements.
