Subjectivity for Me, but not for Thee
As historian of science Stephen C. Meyer shows in his book Return of the God Hypothesis, some leading figures in the scientific community are beginning to consider God a perfectly plausible answer to the ultimate questions that precede scientific inquiry. Materialism, however, remains fashionable in elite intellectual circles. Consider even the derisive way we use the word âsubjectiveâ: when we say that someoneâs appreciation of a painting or taste for fine wine is âsubjectiveâ we mean simply that it is arbitraryâthat one personâs taste is as good as any otherâs. Subjective experiences are understood as mere feelings with no real basis in the outside world.
This notion stems, in part, from the philosophy of Immanuel Kant, an eighteenth-century German thinker who defined scientific study as a realm of objective inquiry: âIf something is valid for anybody in possession of his reason, then its grounds are objective and sufficient,â he wrote.â¸
