Subjectivity and Objectivity

Most of the difficulties that one finds in the construction of our models of reference depend on the old diatribes that oppose subjectivity and objectivity, but especially on a very restrictive interpretation of the term objectivity. This is conceived as applicable only in cases of measurability or deliberate reproducibility of phenomena of any kind.

It seems to us that, refering only to the field of existence and not to that of the contents, one can find many examples of phenomena objectively perceived by everyone, but which cannot be defined or measured. For example, the act of being conscious is an inner phenomenum that all can existentially perceive but that certainly cannot be defined or measured.. However, one is not dealing with a simple abstract category. On the other hand, the contents of the act of being concious are certainly subjective.

If one accepts this point of view, then it follows that the world of objectivity extends beyond all limits, creating the premises for an inner research in which one must not feel oneself limitated by the solitude of subjectivity.
