Geometric perspectives depend upon relative positions
in space. Perspectives in inter-personal and inter-
national relationships depend upon relative positions with
regards to ideas, ideals, ideologies, values, priorities,
etc. Our judgments of others' depends upon our positions
as regards ideas, ideals, ideologies, values, priorities,
etc. To understand each other and the conflicts inherent
in our relationships we need to examine the perspectives
we have as we regard each other from where we are.
Our perspectives which relate to inter-personal and
professional relationships are not objective realities and
do not correspond to objective realities. Our
perspectives pertain to inter-personal and professional
relationships, not to objects. The relationships to which
they pertain are relationships of great interest and
concern to us; subjective relationships. Subjective
relationships can not be viewed objectively without bias.
Subjective relationships are not objects, nor are they
objective relationships between objects.
It is dangerous to think that our perspectives of
other's values, ideals, goals, priorities, etc. correspond
to or are objective realities about which we can achieve
scientific/objective certainty/consensus. Such thoughts
are likely to lead to arrogance and dogmatism bolstered by
a collusion which claims scientific legitimacy for the
misleading conceptions.
Perspectives are relationships, not objects. Human
perspectives are relationships between human realities
which are not relationships between/among objects. Human
perspectives are at least twice removed from being
objective realities. In addition, our efforts to
articulate human perspectives entail the formulation of
human perspectives into language and inevitably the
receiver's interpretation of that verbal formulation;
adding two additional levels of removal from objective
reality. Beware the arrogance of objective certainty in
the face of multiple opportunities for subjectivity to
dominate the considerations!
