  %OBJECTIFICATION DESCRIPTION RELATIONSHIPS PERSON 891212

     Objectification   and  depersonalization  may   occur
through  the process of trying to fully describe  intimate
personal relationships in objective ways.  The essence  of
intimate  personal relationships lie in the relationships,
not in the objects which participate in the relationships.
By their nature,  personal relationships are reflexive and
so  are not objective realities in the way  which  objects
are  objective realities.  It is futile to try to  capture
the  essence  of  relationships in the way  in  which  the
essences of objects may be captured.

     The   essence   of  objects lies in   the  impersonal
relationships between objects and impersonal observers. To
try  to  capture the essence of an object in an  objective
description  of the object (which description ignores  the
impersonal  observer who is describing the object)  is for
the  impersonal  observer to fail to be honest  about  the
role played by the impersonal observer in creating the so-
called  objective reality,  which reality is  subjectively
projected into the object.

     To treat people as objective realities rather than as
participants  in  intimate  personal relationships  is  to
dishonestly objectify and depersonalize people as  objects
of the process of depersonalization.
