Higher Education
Objectivism in research:
Describe, control and predict (Fein 2002)
1) Absolutism and false dichotomy for understandingreality and consciousness
2) Separation from context rejects experiential insight
3) Beguiles people to assume objective tools will alwaysyield objective results
4) Tends to consumptively use others for researchwithout necessarily providing benefit to those used forstudy
