Dissertation note: M.A. University of Auckland 1986 Summary: "The thesis is a critical examination of the role of religion lotu in the historical dialectical development of the Tu'i Tongan Empire. The discussion adopts a realistic theoretical analysis of the topic. Realism is philosophically a pluralistic theory of independence which upholds existence as a single way of being, an existence conditioned by the logic of propositions or events. The opposition to Idealism in its varied forms such as monism, dualism and the relativism has the name realism. Realism as a philosophical doctrine comes into natural opposition with Idealism which denies independence to everything except the Absolute or the one true Being by espousing a theory of degrees of reality that sets existence above history"--Abstract.
