#subjectivism — Public Fediverse posts

We’ve never lived on granite foundations. What we call “objectivity” in social and moral life is scaffolding: provisional, rhetorical, maintained through care, reciprocity, and revolt.

@GoodAaron @lisamelton And I’m saying that slide started far earlier when the culture absorbed #Kant’s #philosophy that our consciousness of the “phenomenal” world is a collective delusion. Any “facts” arise only because enough people agree about them but don’t describe true “noumenal” reality.

Later philosophers carried that social #subjectivism further: different competing groups (e.g., economic classes, races, genders) have different realities.

Some subjectivists and relativists need not agree to these statements from "measures" of subjectivism and relativism, raising questions about face validity. Can psychologists chat with philosophers before making scales like these?

#Subjectivism:
The truth does not exist
All subjective perceptions of a chain of events are equally true

#Relativism:
It is impossible to compare different cultures beliefs about reality in terms of "correctness"
