Irrealism has two main meanings:
  • In philosophy, Irrealism is the common name for a position first advanced by Nelson Goodman in Ways of Worldmaking.
  • In the arts and critical theory Irrealism refers to both a style that features an estrangement from our generally accepted sense of reality, and a critical theory that interprets other works in this manner.
