Somebody might be misrepresenting something here, yes. I especially like the way you managed to exactly explain the subjectivist viewpoint here while being completely fair to the objectivists.
- beat 8y agoWhen it comes to sensory aesthetic experience, I don't think there's any such thing as a true objectivist. Acknowledging the limitations of scientific method for testing personal experience is itself a "subjective" thing, and any good scientist knows that when the results of one measurement disagree with another, it doesn't mean the other measurement is necessarily wrong. But I'm not talking about scientists or the scientific method here. I'm talking about dudes on the internet who claim they are "objective", which is a whole different horse.
- dsr_ 8y agoYou are continuing to make your point eloquently.
- beat 8y agoLet's put it another way... subjectivist says that falling onto concrete hurts more than falling onto pillows. Objectivist says you're falling at the same speed either way, so the difference in pain must be your imagination.
