SUBJECTIVISM AND OBJECTIVISM IN COSMIC EXISTENCE: A SOCIOEPISTEMIC INQUIRY TOWARDS GLOBAL EXPANSION OF THOUGHT

Abstract

Some scholars uphold universal objectivism and denigrate subjective roles. This raises the question of whether objectivism is totally independent of human subjective reasoning. This paper analytically determines the cradle, essence, dialectics, consequences and implication of subjectivism and objectivism in cosmic existence, as well as their nexus and philosophical foundation. The argument however extends to determining the veracity of existent absolute and objective truth, and whether human subjective stances create absolute existent truths, or whether those absolute truths exist and then human subjective processes in agreement rendered them objective and universal. The research finds that subjectivism and objectivism dependently exist in symbiosis. As such, subjective reasoning fashions, gives recognition and shape to objective existents. And these existents in turn inspire and guide subjective activities. As such, subjectivism and objectivism are inseparable ethical and epistemological positions characterized by the existential nature of one having an influence on the other. Yet, objective positions attain universal status and common understanding based on subjective conventions. The study therefore concludes that global education has to focus on achieving critical, innovative, skillful and dynamic population that can ensure objectivity towards a better world.
