Broadly, here’s the wikipedia page. In this exact context, Idealism is the belief that human development and conflict is a conflict between ideas, as opposed to physical reality. You may see this framed as “great men and their ideas”.
Materialism on the other hand holds that human development is a product of material conditions, specifically around ones relationship with the mode of production.
