The primary participants in human experiences cannot be knowledgeable about the experiences while at the same time detaching themselves from the experiences. One cannot be objective about primary human experiences. The objective world upon which objective scientists agree is the fruit of the process of objectification of primary human experiences which are essentially subjective in nature. The objective world is thus a construct of cooperative human behavior which is essentially communal in character. The objective world is real to the extent to which people find it useful to agree upon the way in which the objective world is real. If the agreements regarding the character of the objective world are found not to be integrative in useful ways, the agreements are likely to disintegrate. Is it ultimately useful to believe that there is an objective world which is real independent of any human agreements regarding its nature and reality? By what human test could we come to an unbiased agreement that the reality and character of such an ultimately real world is somehow independent of any test and agreement devised by humans? The suggestion that there exists such an unbiased test flies in the face of the logic which is essential to proving the test reasonable! (c) 2005 by Paul A.
