Note 10

How does one explain the way one views the world if the very process of that explanation presupposes that the way in which you understand that explanation fits the nature of the world as I understand it?

The difference between the external and the internal is not one primarily of organs, of thing vs thought and so on. External is to be defined, un-metaphysically, as that whose nature of the thing is to be judged by that other than yourself; internal is to be defined as that whose nature is to be judged by you.

Objectivity presupposes other perspectives from which to allocate the nature of the subjective to the other: the external is just what it is to be judged based on a perspective that is a collection of subjectives; it is a subjective which I cannot see. In that respect objectivity is an anthropomorphism, and, in agreeing into objectivity, what we really do is to agree into intersubjectivity.
