Objectivity is both a metaphysical and an epistemological concept. It pertains to the relationship of consciousness to existence. Metaphysically, it is the recognition of the fact that reality exists independent of any perceiverโs consciousness. Epistemologically, it is the recognition of the fact that a perceiverโs (manโs) consciousness must acquire knowledge of reality by certain means (reason) in accordance with certain rules (logic). This means that although reality is immutable and, in any given context, only one answer is true, the truth is not automatically available to a human consciousness and can be obtained only by a certain mental process which is required of every man who seeks knowledgeโthat there is no substitute for this process, no escape from the responsibility for it, no shortcuts, no special revelations to privileged observersโand that there can be no such thing as a final โauthorityโ in matters pertaining to human knowledge. Metaphysically, the only authority is reality; epistemologicallyโoneโs own mind. The first is the ultimate arbiter of the second.
