Naturalism is a theory in art and literature which states that people and things should be shown in a realistic way. a style of art or literature which tries to show the world and people exactly as they are. Aesthetic movement of the late 19th to early 20th century. The movement was inspired by the principles and methods of natural science, especially Darwinism, which were adapted to literature and art. In literature, naturalism extended the tradition of realism, aiming at an even more faithful, pseudoscientific representation of reality, presented without moral judgment. Characters in naturalistic literature typically illustrate the deterministic role of heredity and environment on human life. The movement originated in France, where its leading exponent was Émile Zola. In America it is associated with the work of writers such as Stephen Crane and Theodore Dreiser. Visual artists associated with naturalism chose themes from life, capturing subjects unposed and not idealized, thus giving their works an unstudied air. Following the lead of the Realist painter Gustave Courbet, painters chose themes from contemporary life, and many deserted the studio for the open air, finding subjects among peasants and tradespeople, capturing them as they found them. As a result, finished canvases had the freshness and immediacy of sketches. Zola, the spokesman for literary naturalism, was also the first to champion Édouard Manet and the Impressionists (see Impressionism).While naturalism was short-lived as a historical movement, it contributed to art an enrichment of realism, new areas of subject matter, and a largeness and formlessness that was closer to life than to art. Its multiplicity of impressions conveyed the sense of a world in constant flux. In philosophy, the theory that affirms that all beings and events in the universe are natural and therefore can be fully known by the methods of scientific investigation. Though naturalism has often been equated with materialism, it is much broader in scope. Strictly speaking, naturalism has no ontological bias toward any particular set of categories of reality: dualism and monism, atheism and theism, idealism and materialism are all compatible with it. Naturalism was most influential in the 1930s and '40s, chiefly in the U.S. among philosophers such as F.J.E. Woodbridge (1867-1940), Morris R. Cohen (1880-1947), John Dewey, Ernest Nagel (1901-85), Sidney Hook (1902-89), and W.V.O. Quine

Naturalism considers man more or less helpless in the face of forces beyond his control It describes what did happen by chance circumstances Man may strive for values, but he is ineffectual in gaining them Man may not even choose his values - values and flaws being part of the character he is born with Some exceptional men may be heroes, such as a Greek warrior, but they are created by the Gods or by circumstances Stories are episodic, with events not flowing necessarily from proceeding ones Works may be entertaining and insightful, as with Shakespeare and Cervantes

A literary movement seeking to depict life as accurately as possible, without artificial distortions of emotion, idealism, and literary convention The school of thought is a product of post-Darwinian biology in the nineteenth century It asserts that human beings exist entirely in the order of nature Human beings do not have souls or any mode of participating in a religious or spiritual world beyond the biological realm of nature, and any such attempts to engage in a religious or spiritual world are acts of self-delusion and wish-fulfillment Humanity is thus a higher order animal whose character and behavior are, as M H Abrams summarizes, entirely determined by two kinds of forces, hereditary and environment The individual's compulsive instincts toward sexuality, hunger, and accumulation of goods are inherited via genetic compulsion and the social and economic forces surrounding his or her upbringing
