==Description==

Objectivity is both an important and very difficult [[concept]] to pin down in philosophy. While there is no [[universal]]ly accepted articulation of [[objectivity]], a proposition is generally considered to be objectively true when its [[truth]] conditions are "mind-independent"—that is, not the result of any [[judgment]]s made by a [[conscious]] entity. Put another way, objective truths are those which are discovered rather than created. While such formulations capture the basic [[intuitive]] idea of objectivity, neither is without controversy.

==Objectivity and subjectivity==

==Objectivity and subjectivity==

In [[philosophy]], an objective [[fact]] means a truth that remains true everywhere, independently of human [[thought]] or [[feelings]]. For instance, it is true always and everywhere that 'in base 10, 2 plus 2 equals 4'. A subjective fact is one that is only true under certain conditions, at certain times, in certain places, or for certain people.

According to the ethical objectivist, the truth or falsity of typical moral [[judgments]] does not depend upon the [[beliefs]] or feelings of any [[person]] or [[group]] of persons. This view holds that moral propositions are analogous to propositions about [[chemistry]], [[biology]], or [[history]]: they describe (or fail to describe) a mind-independent reality. When they describe it accurately, they are true --- no matter what anyone believes, hopes, wishes, or feels. When they fail to describe this mind-independent moral reality, they are false --- no matter what anyone believes, hopes, wishes, or feels. There are many versions of ethical objectivism, including various religious views of morality, Platonistic intuitionism, Kantianism, and certain forms of contractualism and ethical egoism. Note that Platonists define ethical objectivism in an even more narrow way, so that it requires the existence of intrinsic value. Consequently, they reject the idea that contractualists or egoists could be ethical objectivists.

The exquisite and [[transcendent]] [[experience]] of [[loving]] and being loved is not just a [[psychic]] [[illusion]] because it is so purely [[subjective]]. The one truly [[divine]] and [[objective]] [[reality]] that is associated with [[mortal]] [[beings]], the [[Thought Adjuster]], [[functions]] to [[human]] [[observation]] apparently as an exclusively [[subjective]] [[phenomenon]]. Man's [[contact]] with the highest [[objective]] [[reality]], [[God]], is only through the [[purely]] [[subjective]] [[experience]] of knowing him, of [[worshiping]] him, of [[realizing]] [[sonship]] with him.[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_196#196.3_THE_SUPREMACY_OF_RELIGION]
