Difference between subjective and objective. Subjective opinion - intellectual weakness in a wrapper IMHO

Holodynamics (dynamics of the whole) is an effective and environmentally friendly method of working with the conscious and subconscious to solve various life issues, personal growth and unlocking human potential.
Some people confuse cold dynamics and holotropic breathing, so I want to immediately dispel doubts - these are completely different techniques.

Cold dynamics, or as it is also called, spiritual psychology, was created by Dr. Victor Vernon Wolf (USA) at the intersection of such sciences as quantum physics, neurophysiology, psychology and philosophy. Works of many scientists, including Nobel laureates, formed the basis of the method, combining the latest knowledge science with spiritual knowledge, creating a harmonious system of a holodynamic approach for working with the conscious and subconscious, revealing the potential of the individual.

Request for work may be from any area of ​​life– health, relationships, love, work, business, creativity, vocation.

Holodynamics is a practice that can be used to change what's stopping you:

  • live a happy, fulfilling life,
  • be healthy
  • earn and increase money,
  • cost a relationship that is comfortable for you,
  • let go of what has become obsolete, forgive,
  • reveal your abilities and talents,
  • find ways to realize yourself in society, in creativity, in life in general.

With the help of cold dynamics, you can successfully understand your doubts, fears, grievances, fixated emotions, destructive states, recurring life situations, unresolved issues with people, with money, with work, with health, with yourself. Or maybe you feel that the time has come to free yourself from other people’s attitudes, imposed by someone once, and start living your own full life.

The refrigeration session always takes place individually. During the session, we balance the left and right hemispheres of the brain using light meditative techniques, which gives access to intuitive sensory perception in balance with a logical and analytical tool. This opens up access to depths that logic and analysis alone cannot reach.

The session takes place in the form of a conversation, in which immature parts of consciousness and subconscious are identified (thought forms - cold ones) and then they are transformed to their mature state. For example, paralyzing fear can be transformed into its highest potential, which helps you in life - caution and reasonable courage. And uncertainty leads to faith in yourself, in your strength, in the support of the Universe. Or the lump in your throat that is an echo of a long-standing resentment may finally go away and allow you to express yourself fully.

By healing the immature energy-informational cold structures that control us, we gain strength, energy, opportunities to feel happier, to act more effectively and successfully, to find the best ways and ways to solve our life problems, to realize ourselves more fully

The more I practice in cold dynamics, the more I become convinced of the boundless source of wisdom and love inherent in every person. In life, we do not always know and remember this, we do not always use this power of ours.
I really like refrigeration for its environmentally friendly and gentle approach to dialogue with inner world individuals, for careful handling of the power of the subconscious. At the same time, it allows a person to clearly see and feel their states, even at the level of physical sensations. Feel your authenticity, your nature, your essence “I am.” All its beauty, depth, integrity and harmony.

And contact with this deep part of yourself makes it possible to realize what is important for yourself, to see ways to solve a problem, to begin to act differently - the way you need in life. What is especially valuable is that these understandings are not based on anyone’s advice (no one in this world knows what’s best for you), but come from within, and are something that is actually always with us. This gives real personal growth. You just have to extend your hand.

Sometimes one session of up to 2 hours is enough to solve the problem. Sometimes a person needs a series of sessions with a frequency of 3 days to 3 weeks. It depends on the depth of the problem, its severity and the degree of your readiness to solve it.

I conduct refrigeration sessions both in person in Kyiv and via Skype.

Very often the keys to problems lie in our childhood period of life. IN psychological counseling They actively work with this period, often for years and quite successfully. Holodynamics, the dynamics of holistic consciousness, is the field of spiritual psychology. And if the method suits you, then in refrigeration you can effectively solve the problem both in a shorter period of time (days, months), and find its roots and heal not only in childhood, but from the point of view of tribal systems and past incarnations.

Opinion (Slavic mniti - I assume) is a private interpretation by an individual of data in the form of a set of judgments that are not limited to the thought of the presence or refutation of something, but express the hidden or explicit attitude and assessment of the subject to the object in at the moment time, the nature and completeness of perception and sensation of something. That is, one can understand that an opinion can change over time due to certain reasons, including changes in the object of opinion itself - its qualities, properties, and so on, or because of other opinions, judgments, facts. And also, an opinion is a deliberately subjective judgment, which is subject to the properties and signs of subjectivity that I touched upon in the previous paragraph, even if the opinion is based on facts, it has the character of a value judgment-argument, that is, it still expresses the attitude of the subject.

From the above, one can understand that opinion is subjective by default and inherits the properties of the subjective, for example, not necessarily stating the truth, different degrees of distortion by perception of the essence of the object, and so on. That is, already using the concept of “opinion” there is no need to clarify that it is subjective. It is important not to confuse judgment and opinion in itself, since the former can be of an empirical nature, that is, verifiable by experience, but an opinion is not capable of this due to the fact that it expresses an attitude. To some extent, an opinion is a judgment reflecting qualia, but only to some extent, and not completely. But whether an objective opinion exists and what form and content it has to fulfill the conditions of objectivity should be examined in more detail.

By itself, an object is not capable of making any judgments at all, if it is not a subject, that is, it can immediately be stated that an unconscious object does not put forward value judgments - opinions, and therefore does not create an objective opinion. This means that the concept literally reflecting “objective opinion” does not exist, but the connotation is interesting here, not the literal meaning, so we can continue the research.

If we consider an objective opinion as an opinion about a certain object, then the subject who forms any opinion does so about the object, so this form of objective opinion is false. When trying to consider an objective opinion as an opinion (of a subject) aimed at a certain object, in order to protect the objectivity of this opinion, it is necessary to turn to objectivity itself, which I talked about in the first paragraph of this chapter.

Objectivity is the perception of an object in the form in which it exists independently of the subject of its perception, that is, impartiality and independence of judgment from the personality of the individual, including his opinion. And in this case, an objective opinion cannot exist either, since objectivity presupposes the absence of any relationship, hidden or explicit, of the individual subject to the reflected object. Moreover, in this case, objective opinion tries to replace scientific knowledge as a systematized complex of data about any object obtained in the course of cognitive procedures with the aim of bringing these data as close as possible to stating the essence of the cognitive object. Even ordinary, non-scientific knowledge is based on common sense and experience, including empirical, and does not imply distortion by attitude or assessment.

Based on all of the above, I come to the conclusion that “objective opinion” itself does not exist in the form of an a priori formulated one, and attempts to replace other concepts with it, for example, knowledge, have neither elegance nor expediency. An opinion can be, or rather become, objective if, in his subjective assessments, expression of attitude, private perception - opinion formation, an individual interprets the data in such a way that his subjective opinion satisfies the conditions of objectivity.

That is, an objective opinion is the same subjective opinion, including all its features, but coinciding in its assessments, relationships and individual interpretation with objective reality in its conditional completeness. The boundaries and criteria of the conditional completeness of perception, understanding and description of objective reality are the subject of a separate discussion. If we understand by objective opinion only the desire of the individual subject for an accurate and true reflection and statement of the essence of reality, then this ceases to be an opinion at all and, therefore, it will not matter at all whether this “opinion” is objective or subjective.

I will summarize what was said in the paragraph and move on to the conclusions for the chapter, so:

  • In short, an opinion is an individual evaluative attitude of a subject towards something;
  • Subjective opinion - subjectivity is an integral quality of the opinion itself, that is, when using the concept of opinion, its subjectivity is understood without additional clarification;
  • Objective opinion is the same subjective opinion, but in the expression of attitude, assessment, etc. by the individual it coincides with objective reality.

There is no particular advisability to use the concept of subjective opinion in speech, since it is already subjective, just as there is no advisability to use the concept of objective opinion, since it reflects the coincidence of opinion with a statement of objective reality, but does not cease to be an opinion - a subjective attitude. That is, when talking about stating objective reality, it is more advisable to resort to the concepts of fact, knowledge and the like, rather than pointing out a coincidence with, for example, the fact of someone’s opinion, since this is a coincidence, and not the internal quality of the opinion itself - subjective. Accordingly, in addition to emphasizing with the epithet “objective” the coincidence with fact, knowledge or similar statements of objective reality, it is advisable to limit ourselves to the concept of opinion without the subjective epithet, which it is, and even more so one should not understand the “objectivity” of an opinion as its independent quality, for this is only a coincidence with real objectivity. And if this coincidence is intentional and/or known, then it is more rational to offer a judgment, hypothesis, fact, knowledge, etc., rather than an opinion. In fact, referring in perception, and opinion based on it, to the categories of object and subject does not provide a sufficient characteristic of truth, since objectivity and subjectivity here (by some) mistakenly replace positive and negative awareness. Positive awareness (Latin positivus - coinciding, positive) is perception and comprehension expressed in an act of consciousness and attitude as coinciding with reality to one degree or another; and negative awareness (Latin negativus - reverse, negative) is the same act and its product, but with a distortion of reality, that is, imaginary, artificial. So, if we apply to opinion the concept that characterizes the closeness of an opinion to reality, then it is better to use “positive” and “positive”, and not some kind of “objective opinion”, which is practically an oxymoron.

Objectivity and, first of all, the objectivity of information as the quality of the information fields surrounding us, is extremely important in everyday life, and for professional self-realization.

Unfortunately, often subjectivity of judgments, which are disguised as the objective opinion of some specialist, do not allow us to correctly understand the problem and make an adequate and objective decision. Let's figure out what objectivity is, whether it is possible to distinguish it from subjective opinion and how to correctly present information in professional activity and in everyday life.

What is it

What is objectivity and why do you need to be able to recognize it? In philosophy, there has long been a scientific debate about the objective and the subjective, as well as about truth and truth. As a result of centuries-old disputes, philosophers have found a point to separate these concepts.

They established that the objectivity of truth is its immutable quality. Then, apparently, the expression appeared: “Everyone has their own truth, but the truth is the same for everyone.” Based on this, we can derive the definition that:

  • Objectivity as a quality that is not associated with personal judgments and interests, is not based on preferences, exists on its own and does not depend on evaluation. It is based on constant values, objective facts, conclusions supported by results scientific research, etc. This is a quality that cannot be challenged or changed at will. It is based on scientific or other practical knowledge about the object.
  • The opposite of this quality is subjectivity. In this capacity, everything is connected with opinion, judgment, assessment, personal criteria and desires. Subjectivity always starts from the subject. Subjective information is information created or modified by the subject.

For example, when we talk about such qualities as practicality, beauty, taste and others, we inevitably give a personal assessment or use personal subjective experience, which means our reasoning is subjective. When we talk about exact quantities (time, weight and the like) or scientific facts– this is an objective opinion, since we take as a basis indisputable data or facts.

“Hot water” and “boiling point of water 100 degrees Celsius” are subjective and objective forms of presenting information about the same water quality.

It is interesting that from the point of view of semantic analysis of the Russian language, subjectivity is almost always expressed by an adjective, while the use of verbs in speech enhances the perception of information as objective.

Why is it important to be able to transform information into an objective opinion? Primarily because in this form people better perceive what you want to tell them. Subjective opinions are likely to be questioned, ignored, or become the source of controversy. Objective opinions will be taken seriously. In this case, you can use this skill as in professional field, and in everyday life.

Let's say you want to convince your manager that the path you have chosen to resolve an issue is correct. If your objective opinion is based on scientific data and conclusions made earlier and not challenged by anyone, you will most likely be able to defend your point of view. If you present the same information, but only as your own judgment, the result may be the opposite.

This strategy can also be used when working with children. Children are more likely to trust information presented in a scientific or precise form. Carry out an experiment with them and, believe me, the result of the experiment will be a better confirmation of objective truth for them than a dozen books they have read.

Of course, there are areas where there is not and cannot be an objective opinion. Art - painting, music, theater - is always perceived subjectively, i.e. are assessed by each individual based on his preferences. Subjective judgment is also possible in those scientific fields where there is no consensus yet, and it is not yet possible to draw final and objective conclusions, since there is a lack of accurate scientific data.

Let's take, for example, the reasoning of astronomers about the structure of the Universe. It is technologically impossible to measure its dimensions or obtain information about the physical processes occurring in it. Information about the Universe is scattered, which does not allow us to see the whole picture.

With such a set of facts, it is impossible to obtain an objective opinion about this object. Most researchers in this area are so far only making assumptions and each creating their own model of the Universe, suggesting which of the physical laws known to us can operate in it.

But even the discoveries already made were not always immediately accepted by the scientific community. History knows cases when discoveries made by scientists were considered for a long time only a subjective opinion. In such cases, only time could turn a scientific hypothesis into an objective truth.

Reality. Objective or subjective

Another important question, which philosophers and psychologists ask: is reality an objective or subjective category?

From the point of view of philosophy, reality as a set of facts, objects, actions is certainly objective, but only at each specific moment in time. Since reality is extremely changeable and is almost always assessed by the subject, this determines its subjectivity.

In psychology, objective reality and subjective reality. When working with an individual, it is important to understand what the individual’s attitude is towards each of them, how she evaluates them, who, in her opinion, influences their formation.

Children often take the opinions of parents or adults with authority as objective reality. Therefore, it is important to teach a child to form his own position and distinguish subjective opinion from objective facts.

Show your child that having your own subjective opinion is very important. Ask how he feels about some natural phenomenon. Go with him to an exhibition or a concert, discuss a book or film. Talk about what you think and feel. Ask him to describe his thoughts and feelings.

Open your child to the world of objective knowledge and science. Tell us about how scientists explore reality and make discoveries and how objective knowledge helps us in life. Author: Ruslana Kaplanova

Currently, subjective opinion is the most fashionable trend in the process of personal expression. If one wants to appear modern, an individual must always look at what is happening from a personal point of view. This provides an excellent opportunity to demonstrate your uniqueness in any situation... Unfortunately, in lately newfangled IMHO (deciphered as follows: I have an opinion, I want to voice it) has filled the information space and supplanted the culture of public expression and thought, the craving for reliable knowledge, respectful attitude towards interlocutors and an adequate perception of reality.

Why has a purely subjective opinion become so popular? Explaining the reasons for this phenomenon is quite simple if you understand the psychological state of modern society.

Claim to originality

Opinion is a manifestation of consciousness in the form of a judgment that expresses a subjective assessment. It comes from the needs and hobbies of the individual, his value system. Consequently, a subjective opinion is an expression of what a person imagines, imagines, seems. It is important to remember this when we read or hear the point of view of our interlocutor. By revealing his opinion to us, a person demonstrates his own

Be reasonable

Even if it seems to you one hundred percent that the interlocutor is wrong, try not to get personal. One can never exclude the possibility that there is still some truth in what is being said. This happens when a person has certain knowledge about the subject, he is competent in what is being discussed and argues his position. Otherwise, his subjective opinion is the so-called bump in opinion, a judgment based on emotions and rumors.

Negative changes

It is important to take into account the fact that opinion is a natural form of implementation human consciousness, activated through unconscious motives. In the process of forming a worldview, it plays one of the leading roles. The sad trend of our time is that IMHO, being, in essence, a tasteful, personal, situational perception, is trying to take the place of a true fundamental version of the characterization of ongoing events.

Psychology can help us

Does a person have the ability to clearly distinguish between subjective and objective opinions? Yes. Understanding the principle of operation of internal mechanisms that activate the unconscious will allow you to separate the wheat from the chaff and learn to distinguish between the thinker and the knower.

The postulates of system-vector psychology have become for many an accurate tool for dissecting human souls. Thanks to systemic psychoanalysis, it is possible to objectively evaluate one or another mental manifestation of an individual. The holistic eight-dimensional matrix of the psyche helps in this process.

Formation mechanism

Subjective opinion is a point of view formulated situationally, spontaneously. It expresses a person’s state as a reaction to the influence of an external factor. Psychologists note that the influence of an external stimulus is secondary - the basis for the formation of a personal opinion is internal state individual. That is why even in different situations the form and nature of personal statements may remain unchanged. We can observe this phenomenon in all its glory on the vastness of the Global Network. Thus, sexually or socially frustrated individuals to articles on the most different topics they leave comments of the same nature, proudly calling their criticism newfangled IMHO.

Weapons to destroy intelligence

How to understand subjective opinion? First, you need to understand that it distorts the truth and is mostly a fallacy. This is exactly what many ancient thinkers believed. Modern psychologists identify a dead-end type of behavior. So, the individual thinks something like this: “If they say so, then it is so. Hundreds of people just won’t say that.” In this way, a pathological economy of one’s own mental efforts is achieved, but they are simply necessary for a critical attitude towards the subjective opinions of others. Trusting the words of others is not the best option.

Opinion begins where knowledge ends. And indeed, often the notorious IMHO is just a form of expression of intellectual backwardness and weakness.

If a person does not understand his own mistakes and becomes more and more convinced that he is right, his sense of superiority over others rapidly grows and strengthens. This is why so often we see incompetent people, who confidently consider themselves professionals, speaking with loud phrases. At the same time, the statement that the author expresses a personal opinion is quite enough to kill at the root all doubts about the objectivity of what was said.

What does subjective opinion mean? This is only the individual’s sensory attitude to what is happening, and therefore it is often characterized by a lack of evidence. In addition, it is impossible to verify or substantiate it. The source IMHO is stereotypes, beliefs, uncritical attitude. Forming a personal opinion is in unbreakable connection with the psychological attitudes and ideological position of the individual.

What makes you express an opinion?

The very first action that helps in assessing the real content and objectivity, IMHO, is to find out the intentions that prompted the person to make a statement. Why did he write/say that? What internal state prompted him to do this?

What does subjective opinion mean? This is just a point of view. One of millions of possibilities. Often it turns out to be completely empty, not of any use. At the same time, the author of the statement is firmly convinced that this is the very truth born in the process of intense intellectual work.

Time IMHO

Modernity in system-vector psychology is defined as the period of the “skin phase of the development of society.” One of its main features is the strengthening of individualism. Culture is at such a level of development that each individual is proclaimed highest value, a unique creation. It is argued that a person has an exclusive right to everything - naturally, which is not prohibited by law. The first position in the system of a “skin” society is occupied by independence and freedom.

A technological breakthrough gave humanity the Internet, which has become a huge arena in which a magnificent parade takes place IMHO. The global network has made it possible to speak out on any issue. Many note that the Internet has become an immense cesspool filled with stinking masses of unreliable, dirty information.

Against each other

Ask yourself the question of whether you want to be a consumer of other people's subjective opinions, whether you are ready to become a kind of trash bin in which everything that someone really wanted to say is placed. Of course, it is much more difficult to form your own, maximally objective idea of ​​the world.

Analyze your statements. Perhaps they will give you reason to think about what kind of judgments you yourself present to others. Are you falling into the emptiness of your own thoughts? Are all your frustrations exposed too often? Try to answer these questions honestly. Understanding and analyzing your own mistakes will help you choose the right path.

Humanity. O. presupposes liberation from the “observer” who judges about the world and always proceeds from a certain point of view.
Absolute O. is unattainable in any field, including science. Nevertheless, objective knowledge is one of the most fundamental values ​​of science. O. is historical: opinions that seemed objective in one place may turn out to be subjective in another. For example, astronomers for more than two thousand years considered the geocentric picture of the world to be completely objective; it took several centuries and the efforts of outstanding scientists and philosophers (N. Copernicus, G. Bruno, G. Galileo, etc.) to show that the heliocentric picture is more objective.
Although she constantly strives for O., both the subjective and the faith in her are essentially intertwined and often mutually support each other. Knowledge is always supported by the intellectual feeling of the subject, and assumptions do not become part of science until something makes them believe. Subjective faith stands not only behind individual statements, but also behind holistic concepts or theories. This is especially evident during the transition from an old theory to a new one, in many ways similar to the “act of conversion” in new faith and not feasible step by step based on logic and neutral experience. As science shows, such a transition either occurs immediately, although not necessarily in one step, or does not occur at all during the lifetime of the contemporaries of the new theory. “The Copernican doctrine acquired only a few supporters for almost a whole century after the death of Copernicus. Newton's work did not receive general recognition, especially in continental Europe, for more than 50 years after the publication of the Principia. Priestley never accepted the oxygen theory of combustion, just as Lord Kelvin did not accept the electromagnetic theory, etc.” (T. Kuhn). M. Planck noted that “the new science paves the way to triumph not by persuading its opponents and forcing them to see them in a new light, but rather because its opponents sooner or later die and a generation grows up that is accustomed to it.”
A certain belief underlies not only a particular theory, but also science itself as a whole. This system sets the premises of scientific theorizing and determines what distinguishes scientific from ideological, utopian or artistic thinking. The totality of the mental premises of science is blurred, a significant part of them is tacit knowledge. This, first of all, explains that it is difficult to unambiguously distinguish science from what is not science and define it with an exhaustive list of rules.
The thinking of an entire historical era is prerequisite, based on implicit, vague beliefs and in this sense subjective. The totality of these beliefs determines the thinking of the era, its intellectual. The style of thinking is almost not recognized by the era in which it dominates, and is subject to a certain understanding and criticism only in subsequent eras. The transition from the thinking style of one era to the thinking style of another (and therefore from one general type of philosophy to another) is a spontaneous-historical process that takes a fairly long period.
Specific sciences differ in their characteristic types of O. K. Lévi-Strauss writes, in particular, about O. (physical) anthropology that it not only requires the researcher to abstract from his beliefs, preferences and prejudices (such O. is characteristic of all social sciences) , but also implies more: “it is about rising not only above the level of values ​​inherent in society or a group of observers, but also above the methods of thinking of the observer... The anthropologist not only suppresses his feelings: he forms new thinking, contributes to the introduction of new concepts time and space, oppositions and contradictions, just as alien to traditional thinking as those encountered today in some branches of the natural sciences.” Anthropology's tireless search for O. occurs only at a level where phenomena do not go beyond the limits of the human and remain understandable - intellectually and emotionally - for individual consciousness. “This is extremely important,” Lévi-Strauss emphasizes, “since it allows us to distinguish the O. that one strives for from the O. that represents for others social sciences and which is undoubtedly no less strict than its type, although it is located on a different plane.” Anthropology in this respect is closer to the humanities, which strive to remain at the level of meanings.
Depending on which of the uses of language is meant, we can talk about O. description, O. evaluation and O. artistic images (in the latter, expressive and orectic are most clearly expressed).
O. description can be characterized as the degree of its approximation to the truth; became an intermediate step on the path to such O. The value of an assessment is determined by its effectiveness, which is analogous to the truth of descriptive statements and indicates the extent to which it contributes to the success of the proposed activity. Efficiency is established in the course of justifying assessments (and, above all, their purposeful justification), due to which the O. assessment is sometimes, although not entirely legitimately, identified with its validity.
K. Marx defended the idea that group subjectivity coincides with O., if it is the subjectivity of the advanced class, i.e. a class whose aspirations are directed along the lines of the laws of history. For example, bourgeois social theories are subjective, since their main task is to preserve capitalist society, which contradicts the laws of history; proletarian revolutionary theories are objective, because they put forward goals that correspond to these laws. According to Marx, what is required by the laws of history is objectively positively valuable. In particular, if, due to such laws, a revolutionary transition from capitalism to communism is inevitable, then everything that meets the interests of the proletarian revolution and the tasks of building a communist society will be objectively good.
History, however, is a succession of unique and isolated phenomena; there is no direct repetition of the same thing in it, and therefore there are no laws in it. Lack of laws historical development deprives the idea that an assessment from a subjective one can turn into an objective and true one. Estimates, unlike descriptions, do not have truth value; they can only be effective or ineffective. Effectiveness, unlike truth, is always subjective, although its subjectivity can be different - from individual passion or whim to the subjectivity of an entire culture.
In the cultural sciences, three different types of O can be distinguished. cm. CLASSIFICATION OF SCIENCES). The analysis of the social sciences (economics, sociology, demography, etc.) does not imply an understanding of the objects being studied on the basis of the experience experienced by the individual; it requires the use of comparative categories and excludes “I”, “here”, “now” (“present”), etc. The field of humanities (history, anthropology, linguistics, etc.), on the contrary, is based on a system of absolute categories and on the basis of absolute assessments. And finally, the assessment of normative sciences (ethics, aesthetics, art criticism, etc.), which also presupposes a system of absolute categories, is compatible with the formulation of explicit assessments, and in particular explicit norms.
In epistemology of the 17th-18th centuries. It prevailed that O., validity, and thereby scientific character necessarily presuppose, and statements that do not admit of qualification in terms of truth and falsehood can be neither objective, nor justified, nor scientific. This belief was caused primarily by the fact that by science they meant only; social and human sciences were considered just pre-sciences, significantly lagging behind the sciences in their development.
The reduction of philosophy and validity to truth was based on the conviction that only truth, which depends only on the structure of the world and therefore has no gradations and degrees, which is eternal and unchangeable, can be a reliable basis for knowledge and action. Where there is no truth, there is no truth, and everything is subjective, unstable and unreliable. All forms of reflection of reality were characterized in terms of truth: we were talking not only about the “truths of science,” but also about the “truths of morality” and even about the “truths of poetry.” Good turned out to be special cases of truth, its “practical” varieties. O.'s reduction to truth also had the consequence of reducing all uses of language to description: only one can be true and, therefore, reliable. All other uses of language - assessment, promise, declaration (of peace using words), expressive, directive, warning, etc. - were seen as disguised descriptions or declared to be incidental to the language because they seemed subjective and unreliable.
IN . 19th century The positivists brought together a variety of non-descriptive statements under the general name of “evaluations” and demanded the decisive exclusion of all kinds of “evaluations” from the language of science. At the same time, representatives of the philosophy of life, which stood in opposition to positivism, emphasized the importance of “evaluations” for the entire process of human life and their inevitability from language social philosophy and all social sciences. This about “assessments” continues by inertia even now. However, it is obvious that if the social sciences and humanities do not contain any recommendations regarding human activity, the existence of such sciences will become doubtful. Economics, political science, linguistics, etc., rebuilt on the model of physics, in which there are no subjective and therefore unreliable “assessments,” are useless.
Not only descriptions, but also assessments, standards, etc. may be justified or unjustified. Valid concerning social and humanities, always containing explicit or implicit evaluative statements (in particular, dual, descriptive-evaluative statements), is to develop reliable criteria for the validity and, therefore, O. of such statements and to study the possibilities of eliminating unfounded evaluations. Evaluation always subjectivizes, which is why it is further from the ideal of science than the sciences of nature. At the same time, without this kind of subjectification and thereby departure from O. it is impossible for a person to transform the world.
In the natural sciences there are also different types of theory. In particular, physical theory, which excludes teleological (target) explanations, clearly differs from biological theory, which is usually compatible with such explanations; The philosophy of cosmology, which presupposes the “present” and the “arrow of time,” is different from the philosophy of those natural sciences, the laws of which do not distinguish the past from the future.
The problem of artistic images remains almost unexplored. Argumentation (and above all) objectifies the supported position, eliminates personal, subjective aspects associated with it. However, in a work of art nothing needs to be specifically substantiated, much less proven; on the contrary, one must renounce the desire to build chains of reasoning and identify the consequences of accepted premises. And at the same time it can be not only subjective, but also objective. "...Essence work of art, writes K.G. Jung, - does not consist purely in his burden personal characteristics- the more it is burdened with them, the less we can talk about art, but in the fact that it speaks on behalf of the spirit of humanity, the heart of humanity and addresses them. For art, the purely personal is a limitation, even a vice. "Art" that is exclusively, or at least essentially, personal deserves to be considered as ". Regarding S. Freud’s idea that everyone is an infantile-autoerotic limited personality, Jung notes that this may be valid in relation to the artist as a person, but does not apply to him as a creator: “for the creator is neither autoerotic, nor heteroerotic, nor in any way - or still erotic, but in of the highest degree objective, essential, superpersonal, perhaps even inhuman or superhuman, for in his capacity as an artist he is his own, and not a man.”

OBJECTIVITY

1) character, liberation from everything subjective, from subjective influences; , neutrality. Objectivity is also the ability to observe something and present it “strictly objectively.” But man does not have such an ability. On the contrary, in any knowledge and statements of any kind, all factors related to the bodily, mental and spiritual existence of the individual interact, including the subconscious forces and transcendental experiences operating in him. Therefore, true objectivity is achieved only very approximately and remains for scientific work ideal; 2) spiritual to perform not for personal gain, but of a higher order. A prerequisite for objectivity is the ability to understand the content of the matter, the order of things and dedication to the task without bias and without prejudice.
