     In   an   objective   relationship  a   scientist  is
emotionally   disconnected   from  the   object   of   the
scientist's manipulations, understanding, predictions, and
control.

     Objectivity has to do with emotionally  disconnecting
scientists  from  the  objects which  they dispassionately
study.

     Disconnecting objects from the contexts within  which
they are understood is bound to lead to misunderstanding.

     The scientists who seek to understand objects are the
parts  of  the  context of understanding  which  are  most
central  to  the kind of understanding which evolves  from
the relationship between scientists and objects.

     For   scientists  to   disconnect   themselves   from
reflecting   upon   their  emotional  responses   to   the
relationships between themselves and the objects of  their
study---is  to ignore one of the most significant  aspects
of the relationship within which understanding evolves.

     The integrity  of a pattern  of  understanding  of  a
scientist  depends  greatly  upon  the  integrity  of  the
relationship  between  the scientist and  that  which  the
scientist  understands.    If  there is nearly total  dis-
connection  between  the  scientist  and  that  which   is
understood, the level of understanding of the scientist is
bound to lack integrity.

     The more the object of analysis and understanding  is
separated from the scientist and its context of meaningful
relationships---the   less   meaningful   will   be    the
understanding of the scientist.
