As we were born, opening our eyes, we are constantly making obsevation. It can't be such thing as purely objective considering its generating source as well as can’t be always guided by the observer's expectations or desires seeking for its significance in human groups. Thus resulting in my perspective, our observation is relatively objective, neither to be that rigid nor that free.
Purely objectivity means substance existing out of human minds. However, observation is unable to reach the goal. Just think of scenes our ancestors observed colors and the first time someone named some of the colors red or green, the obsevation is really subjective. Yet, they came to an agreement on “this color is red or that color is green” and passed the cognition on from generation to generation, ultimately determining our obsevation in modern times. So the color red or green, in fact, never exist in the world until human once gave its meaning. But what actually the color is ,or even whether a color it is, remained to be seen on grounds of purely objectivity. When it comes to us nowadays, our obsevation of red is a fact definitely, but the fact is, as the case stands, based on the majority’s collective subjectivity inheriting from our ancestors. Moreover, once we regard a object as purely objective, it won’t be changed over human minds or spirits. Observation apparently don't so. Even though it may be fixed by the contemporary majority's recognition, it is actually taking steps to reach further through development of human society.
Served as a fact in today’s people’s opinion whereas a subjective result from the ancient times, and unlike the purely objective things can't be affected by human emotion, observation should be most pertinently described as relatively objective. On the other hand, relative objectivity can also deny the weak saying that obsevation is always guided by the observer's expectations or
desires.
As a matter of fact, observation always led by our expectation or desires is purely subjective. We human have to live in society, at least a small group, thus determing our obsevation of some basic factors must obey the value of the majority, or it means nothing. In orther words, it is destined never to be absolutely your own business. Also taking the color for an example, if you regard your obsevation of red all by your own desires as green, it doesn't matter really, but there seem to have no significance to you and society except being thought of crazy or abnormal by others. Clearly, your observation has to be relatively objective in this case rather than purely subjective.
Besides all above, another reason I treat our observation as realatively objective is that under such circumstances, everyone can add his/her emotional elements to all what they have observed instead of neither being purely objective nor subjective. Based on the accepted fact, human expectations and desires are equally indispensable in order to vitalise the world. Again, the color red, as relatively objective observation, you acknowledge it's red firstly, any imagination such as hot, passion, love about it followed is all right. And this time, your own obervation of it may be more important to make the objects full as well as transport fresh blood to human spiritual world. That is the sweetness of the saying" there is a hundred image of Hamlet in a hundred people's eyes".
No purely objective observation, nor obsevation always guided by our emotion, we should take it relatively objective to respect the fact that human has reached a consensus as well as paint your own colors to the picture based on the fact. The bloom of human progress can be expected. |
