Subjective and objective aspects of points of view

Antonio Manuel Liz Gutiérrez Margarita Vázquez Campos

pp. 59-104

Abstract

One of the most puzzling features of points of view is their bipolarity between the subjective and the objective. First, we will distinguish in a precise way subjective points of view from objective ones. Both of them have a subject as their bearer, so the distinction between subjective and objective points of view will have to be made over the peculiar explicit contents of the points of view involved. After doing that distinction, we will define other connected notions as those of intersubjective points of view and private points of view. Finally, we will consider in detail the positions of relativism and perspectivism. This will offer, so to speak, a panoramic view from the subjective side of points of view. From the objective side, we will analyse the notions of independence from a perspective, absolute points of view, and transcendental points of view. Also, we will distinguish between independence from all perspectives and independence from any particular perspective. The second notion will be crucial for a certain way of understanding objectivity.
