ok, i admit i've been out of this conversation for some time, too weary to
pontificate or show off what i know, because, hey, what do i know?
but the actual objective world always strikes me as kind of a red herring
- sure, it's there,
but we can't know it, so - isn't that a bit like hypothesizing a "real"
world
while admitting there is no way to access it?
it doesn't mean it doesn't exist, but in terms of materialism, and
perception and perspective
and that ever-haunting historicized body creeping itself all over
everything we think we might
know, or believe,
i am not sure i see the value in believing in an "objective" world,
because it assumes
the "world" holds some sort of perspective, or position, that
exceeds our (people) interactions with it - ?
isn't objectivity a value-position?
