Objectivity does not simply involve passivity and detachment; it is a particular structure composed of distance and nearness, indifference and involvement.
George Simmel | Objectivity
Objectivity may also be defined as freedom: the objective individual is bound by no commitments which could prejudice his perception, understanding, and evaluation of the given. The freedom, however, which allows the stranger to experience and treat even his close relationships as though from a bird’s-eye view, contains many dangerous possibilities.
George Simmel | Objectivity, Freedom
The logician searches for principles of reasoning. One of the ideals pursued by the logician is that of objectivity: he wants to certify chains of reasoning as "right" or "good" because they do in fact invariably yield truths and not falsehoods.
