Description

INTRODUCTION: OBJECTIVITY AND SUBJECTIVITY Modern science is in the first place a matter of asking questions and only in the second place a matter of finding answers, as Kant pointed out in his Critique of Pure Reason more than 200 years ago. With his Copernican revolution, Kant argued that the objectivity of scientific knowledge is not the result of an object in itself in some sense out there in nature and as such dictating appropriate ways of apprehension. Objectivity is on the contrary the result of a very specific questioning activity that gives rise to objects that have a validity only within the range of that activity. Kant stated very clearly that if universality and necessity are to be related to scientific knowledge it is because the questioning subject succeeded in constituting the answering potentiality of nature as a point of invariance, of exactness, of necessity and universality.
