13. Knowledge Criteria / E. Relativism / 2. Knowledge as Convention

10347	Objectivity is intersubjectivity [Davidson]
	Full Idea: An entity is objective in so far as it is intersubjective.
	From: Donald Davidson (Three Varieties of Knowledge [1991]), quoted by Martin Kusch - Knowledge by Agreement Ch.10
	A reaction: This thought baffled me until I saw it in the context of socialised epistemology. Effectively objectivity is subsumed under justification, which in turn is seen in a social context, not private to individuals.
