157"There is no such thing as purely objective observation. All observation is subjective; it is always guided by the observer's expectations or desires."





In this statement, the author claims that all observation is subjective and guided by the observer's expectations or desires. I basicaly agree with the author's conclusion. In my point of view, the objects are commonly objective, but artificial factors can never be neglectable, and I will demonstrate my view as following reasons.

In the first place, the methods and tools that used to observe the objects are man-made. These tools play essential part in humans' observation and of course the flaws of such tools easily influenced the credibility of observed results. Because of these tools cannot be perfect we usually donot find what we expect to find,but with the improvement of tools and methods, sometimes, the results will achieve closely to what we want.For example, people donot know the universe before we have invented the astronomical telescope. At the beginning, however, we just observe few stars by originally telescope which are close to us, now we find nine planets in solar system such as The Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Neptune etc. So subjective observation plays improtant effect on finding undiscovered objects.

In the second place, the observation is always guided by man's expectation, and the theory based on the observation is founded by man's own ideas. Because of before a man start to investigate his theory, his may have some special and thorough thoughts about the theory, and he is also dominated by his thoughts. So it is impossible that the observation is absolutly objective. For instance, why can Newton find universal gravitation and demonstrate the law of gravity? It is well known that he saw an apple dropping from tree, if his observation is not subjective but he only consider that it is just a objective phenomena and donot continue to investigate it, we do not know the law of gravity now. In addition, from the same observation, man can draw different conclusions. When one wants to develop new theories from observations, he must use his own ideas to analyse the observations.

In the third place, the objective observation is inevitably reflected in an subjective methods, and thus the observed results should be treated carefully. Fot example, in recent days, some people claim that they find the tenth planets in solar system, but further research indicates that the orbit and volume of this planets is not comparable to other nine planets, so it is hardly to conform whether this planet is the tenth in solar system. Besides, people should try to impede his own subjective judgment to harm the credibility of the observations.

To sum up, from what has been discussed above, we may draw the conclusion that it is necessory to observe the phenomena subjective and there are abundant examples to illustrat that is correct.
