| Abstract: | Further considers residual subjectivity in response to a critique by T. C. Hein (1979) of an earlier analysis of consciousness (T. Natsoulas, see record 1979-22877-001). The author proposed that it is possible to know by objective means all there is to be known about an experience. Such knowledge, however, is anchored by a residual subjectivity that stems from one’s first-hand contact with and knowledge of that experience. ((c) 1999 APA/PsycINFO, all rights reserved) |
