About
Objectivity is the quality of being unbiased, i.e. not predisposed to any particular choice among a given set.
It tends to come up most often in discussions of morality, objective science, and epistemology.
There is no absolute objectivity in any field, as even mathematics starts with a set of axioms which cannot be proved or disproved. Objectivity can only exist within a given scope.
