When you take a photo at 11000 of a second, the moment can become an eternal fact, an eternal moment. So we have a philosophical problem of objectivity and subjectivity.
Far from being magisterial in its objectivity, science was conditioned by history, society, and the prejudices of scientists.
Will not a tiny speck very close to our vision blot out the glory of the world, and leave only a margin by which we see the blot? I know no speck so troublesome as self.
No man thoroughly understands a truth until he has contended against it.
There are some situations one simply cannot be neutral about, because when you are neutral you are an accomplice. Objectivity doesn't mean treating all sides equally. It means giving each side a hearing.
After all, the ultimate goal of all research is not objectivity, but truth.
I write with as much objectivity as I can.
'Fact checking' is opinion journalism pretending to be some sort of heightened objectivity.
It was when reporters became journalists and when objectivity gave way to searching for truth, that an aura of distrust and fear arose around the New Journalist.
Objectivity? I've always had an objective.
We had learned how to invent things, and the question of why we invent things receded in importance. The idea that if something could be done it should be done was born in the nineteenth century. And along with it, there developed a profound belief in all the principles through which invention succeeds: objectivity, efficiency, expertise, standardization, measurement, and progress. It also came to be believed that the engine of technological progress worked most efficiently when people are conceived of not as children of God or even as citizens but as consumers-that is to say, as markets.
Distance not only gives nostalgia, but perspective, and maybe objectivity.
One influential philosophical position about the use of probability in science holds that probabilities are objective only if they are based on micro-physics; all other probabilities should be interpreted subjectively, as merely revealing our ignorance about physical details. I have argued against this position, contending that the objectivity of micro-physical probabilities entails the objectivity of macro-probabilities.
The materialistic paradigm of Western science has been a major obstacle for any objective evaluation of the data describing the events occurring at the time of death.
The absolutist parades his good solid grounding in observation, reason, objectivity, truth and fact; the relativist sees only fetishes.
The loss of objectivity in moral thought does not lead to liberation. It leads to oppression. Secular ideologies preach liberty, but they practice tyranny.
The philosopher forms his principles on an infinity of particular observations. . . He does not confuse truth with plausibility. . . he takes for truth what is true, for false what is false, for doubtful what is doubtful, and probable what is probable. . . The philosophical spirit is thus a spirit of observation and accuracy.
To see another with clarity and objectivity, one first must master stillness.
I make no pretensions to 'objectivity,' a fraudulent concept in an era of industrialized and politicized science in which intellectual mercenaries too often serve power and greed, the ambitions of competing nation-states, or the requirements of commerce.
If the poet has pursued a moral objective, he has diminished his poetic force.
