Hi, Jonathan Speke Laudly here,
If subjectivity exists, is an actuality, then it is objectively so.
If the determination of objectivity (of objective knowledge)is made by individuals or groups then it is made subjectively or intersubjectively.
One may argue that subjectivity and objectivity are two different points of view. One may also argue that they are really the same thing: extreme objectivity is also extreme subjectivity—because if the content of experience is assumed to be observed subjectively then even the notion of a self which observes subjectively is content presented to the subjective observer. In other words, the subjective observing self is an objective fact.
You will find no clean dividing line between subjective and objective.
This distinction is just another version of the mind-body problem, and it is a problem because subjective and objective are considered entities mutually exclusive.
