Kanji 的 bull's eye, mark, target Related words 現げん 実じつ 的てき 現実的 means 'realistic' in the sense of being grounded in reality or feasible, while 即物的 emphasizes a focus on immediate, tangible things and utility, often with a nuance of being unemotional or pragmatic.
実じつ 用よう 的てき 実用的 means 'practical' in terms of usefulness for a specific purpose, whereas 即物的 describes a mindset or attitude that prioritizes concrete facts and material concerns.
Etymology Compound of 即物 (sokubutsu, 'concrete thing; matter-of-factness') + 的 (-teki, '-like, -ical'). The term 即物 itself is a Meiji-era coinage, likely influenced by Western philosophical concepts of positivism or materialism.
