Includes bibliographical references (p. 109) and index.
Is objectivity a form of honesty? -- Doesn't science show there is no objectivity? -- Isn't all perception and understanding relative? -- What about our conceptual structuring of the world? -- Is it possible to represent things objectively? -- Objectivity in numbers? -- Can the study of human behaviour be objective? -- Can there be objectivity in ethics? -- Can there be objectivity in taste?
"Objectivity is both an essential and elusive philosophical concept. This Very Short Introduction explores the theoretical and practical problems raised by objectivity, and also deals with the way in which particular understandings of objectivity impinge on social research, science, and art"-- Provided by publisher.
