| Apr 4, 2023 at 11:20 | comment | added | NotThatGuy | The subjective/objective knowledge distinction in philosophy refers to what we believe about reality vs what reality actually is (similarly for subjective/objective morality), so I wouldn't consider "subjective" itself to be loaded. However, "subjective" is often falsely treated as little more than whims and personal preference, usually by people who are arguing for objective knowledge or especially objective morality (despite them having neither), or by people who use it as a "justification" for their unjustified belief. | |
