[filed under theme 2. Reason / A. Nature of Reason / 5. Objectivity

It is usually believed that the subjective and objective are firmly opposed to one another. But this is not the case; they in fact pass over into one another.
Gist of Idea
Subjective and objective are not firmly opposed, but merge into one another

A Reaction
