PROCESS BY WHICH SCIENTIFIC MODELS ASSUME FACTS ABOUT THE PHENOMENON BEING MODELED

Idealization (science philosophy)

In philosophy of science, idealization is the process by which scientific models assume facts about the phenomenon being modeled that are strictly false but make models easier to understand or solve. That is, it is determined whether the phenomenon approximates an "ideal case," then the model is applied to make a prediction based on that ideal case.

Idealization and devaluation

Psychoanalytic theory posits that an individual unable to integrate difficult feelings mobilizes specific defenses to overcome these feelings, which the individual perceives to be unbearable. The defense that effects (brings about) this process is called splitting. Splitting is the tendency to view events or people as either all bad or all good. When viewing people as all good, the individual is said to be using the defense mechanism idealization: a mental mechanism in which the person attributes exaggeratedly positive qualities to the self or others. When viewing people as all bad, the individual employs devaluation: attributing exaggeratedly negative qualities to the self or others.

In child development, idealization and devaluation are quite normal. During the childhood development stage, individuals become capable of perceiving others as complex structures, containing both good and bad components. If the development stage is interrupted (by early childhood trauma, for example), these defense mechanisms may persist into adulthood.

Examples of use of Idealization

1. There is nothing further from Leibowitz‘s opinions than denial of the Jewish and Zionist state, scorn for its national sovereignty and the idealization of Europe.

2. The idealization of the native American existence in "The New World," precolonization, is a pleasing fantasy but also timeworn and ahistorical.

3. Kahalani‘s open letter provides an excellent opportunity to determine whether the issue at hand is the idealization of the army disguised as "activity that is entirely love for the homeland." Is it right to encourage identification by means of militaristic "action" stunts, to market the IDF like a consumer product and war as the realization of macho teen dreams?

4. Zionism was a concoction of Viennese coffee houses, Tolstoy’s idealization of labor, early ecological sentiment in the form of the wanderfogel that influenced Zionism but various fascistic movements as well, militarism, and varieties of socialism for parts of it, including bolshevism.
