                            %NON-OBJECTIVE ANALYSIS 781030

     Traditional  analysis  has been  patterned  after the
objective  analysis   of  the  scientist   who   maintains
emotional,   affective,   spiritual,  and  other  kinds of
distance from the object of analysis.   Objective analysis
can  only  lead to objective knowledge which  confirms the
chosen state  of alienation (between the analysis  and the
object of analysis) as the basis for the analysis.

     Understanding  other people,  personal relationships,
social structures,  and other personal realities is a kind
of understanding in which the person with understanding is
a participant  in that which is understood.   We  can  not
cease to be participants in other people's lives, personal
relationships,  social  structures,   and  other  personal
realities.    We deceive ourselves if we think that we can
cease to be participants.  So called objective analysis of
personal  realities  are indicative of collusions by which
participants in the personal realities deceive  themselves
into  thinking  that  they are  not  participants.    They
presume  to  carry  out an objective analysis,   when  the
nature   of   the  situation  makes   objective   analysis
impossible.

     Difficulties  which  we have with  personal realities
might be reduced by giving  up  the notion that  objective
analysis is the only legitimate way of knowing, and accept
the  possibility  of  legitimate  non-objective  analysis;
i.e.,  non-objective understanding.   Analysis may not  be
the right word,  for the approach may need to be holistic,
rather than analytic.    Yet  there may be ways  in  which
participant observers in personal realities may understand
the ways in which participants relate to each other and be
able of offer insights which transcend the particularities
of  a  given  situation  or  given  relationships.    Such
insights need not be objective  to  be meaningful in terms
of  giving  meaning  to life.   We need to  learn  how  to
respect non-objective ways of coping with integrity.
