Objectivity.... "objectivity is by no means non-participation, - TopicsExpress



          

Objectivity.... "objectivity is by no means non-participation, but is instead, a positive and definite kind of participation. It characterizes a mind that does not merely register a message, but on the contrary, one that focuses its energies on the subject of its attention by eliminating accidental, temporary and distracting qualities. Objectivity, in other words, does not signify mere detachment and non-participation, but is a distinct structure composed of remoteness and nearness, indifference and involvement...This distance, viewed from the perspective of some fellow citizens, might seem to result from callous indifference, but it can also be defined as freedom. Compared to ordinary persons, the objective individual is freer because he examines conditions with less prejudice; he assess them against standards that are more general and more objective; and his actions are not confined by custom."
