RE: The Subjective Character Experience of Consciousness

in #philosophy8 years ago

Interesting...on your topic of the difference between subjectivity and objectivity, I think that the answer cannot be clearly defined. I do think that subjectivity lies on the level of the individual. That is to say everything we experience is tainted by our viewpoints and is therefore inherently subjective (even if our mental state may be physically manifested in our brain tissue structure). Objectivity arises when there is a consensus on phenomenon that can be tested and repeated. This is why the scientific method is a benchmark for objectivity--it allows our subjective experiences to be tested in various scenarios to confirm its objective legitimacy.
