Here are some gripes I have with your paper:
1) Completely subjective
2) Horrible, distracting grammar errors
3) Childish writing style
4) Idiomatic language
5) Irrelevant conclusions
6) No academic value even REMOTELY

Scrib this: I AM A BAD WRITER. I AM A BAD WRITER. I AM A BAD WRITER. I AM A BAD WRITER. I AM A BAD WRITER.

I agree with all of that. But its stretching the meaning of something being objective, or absolutely true. I mean your right, maths is often used as an exmaple of something true and it is entirely man made and so is actually a subjective thing. But its only true if we share the same understanding. I agree sharing the exact same understanding of something can make something subjective still something that can be true but only to those subjects sharing that understanding. I mean from a subjective point of view, language has alot of meaning(something else which is entirely subjective) but I wouldn't put it up there with things like; gravity exists, or I arrived late to my lecture, or Elvis is dead. I agree language isn't paper thin, but I still think if you bring your own truths to things then they surely aren't objective facts. Cheers, Euan Macleod

Objectivity is also known as Authentic Subjectivity, which is based upon the Transcendental Precepts, Be Attentive, Be Intelligent, Be Reasonable, Be Responsble, Be Loving, Be Compassionate. I argue that if both of us are using the Transcendental Precepts then we begin to understand language in the same way, ruling out absurd or quriky definitions. Thanks, Tony Fejfar

I'm just wondering how you can call language objective, rather than paper thin. I mean we don't all attach the same meaning to language and when we do its often in different areas of it, assuming we even speak the same language. Just because we react emotionaly to something far from makes it objective, our reactions themselves are hugely subjective. As for the Forms, I'm not big on my Greek arts, but I though they were absolute turth behind whatever elements, like absolute peace or absolute chair. I also thought Aristotle wrote alot of his stuff to claim that the Forms didn't exist.

Dear Pete, For the most part I just write short essays. I have some books published but they are really collections of the essays. Thanks, Tony

I'm a first-time visitor to this website and its 'format' -- is there more to this paper, or is this the 'tract book essay' format mentioned throughout?

Please advise -- thank you.
