Objective relationships do not entail affective/emotional responses. Objective relationships do not entail subjective responses. Only subjects can respond subjectively. Objects can respond only objectively. Subjects can respond both subjectively and objectively to both subjects and objects. Persons can relate objectively to objects. Persons can also approach objects subjectively; with awe, reverence, fear and trembling. Persons can endow objects with subjective power and relate to such empowered objects with subjective power. Objects do not take such initiatives apart from personal initiatives on the part of subjective persons. Persons relate subjectively to other persons. For a person to relate in a completely objective way to another person, the person must first become completely objective; i.e., cease to be a real person, become as an object with entirely predictable behavior which can be understood entirely on the basis of objective laws of cause and effect. Entirely objectified persons relate to each other in entirely objective ways, not in personal ways. Objectified persons manipulate and try to control each other in terms of scientific understandings of the laws of cause and effect. The more successful is their program of objectification, the more successfully they are able to relate to each other in terms of their objective laws of understanding, prediction and control. Such pseudo-persons are personally dead and do not relate to others subjectively. They relate to each other objectively with yearnings for significance and meaning which they have forgotten in their passion for objective relationships free of the ambiguities of subjectivity. Totally objective people can not be reflective about their own natures and the meaning of their own ventures. Such reflection would not be objective and free of emotionally loaded subjective aspects. They have given up the right to such personal relationships in order to succeed in objective relationships. Now they can not enjoy their success because they have succeeded in being exclusively objective. (c) 2005 by Paul A.
